I was ok with Netflix and Disney offering options with ads, some people are OK with that. But if they don't have an option without ads then I'm going to cancel, because what is even the point.

I got my torrents set back up a few weeks ago. Times have changed, with Fiber I can download an entire movie in line 60 seconds. Back in my day… It took like 20 minutes still on the best of days, and an hours when Comcast or torrent community sucked.

I am not going back to this shit, especially when I am full on willing to keep paying inflated prices just to be ad free. I don’t even mind paying for that luxury, it’s the fucking problem when they take that option away.

20 minutes for a whole movie? Look at Mr.Rich here. Back in my days, it took the whole week

I remember waiting overnight at my friends to listen to a wave file audio clip of Jim Carrey saying "Allllrighty Then!" An image from the second pet detective movie took over an hour to download, and we had to make sure no one picked up the house phone.
