tl;dr: You download files from a server you pay to access. Faster and more secure (assuming you trust the server host).
I use Eweka and NZBGeek as my indexer. If you don't have access to fancy private torrent networks then this is a much less painful experience than having to navigate torrent sites these days. Combine with *aar and life is pretty sweet.
While there, pick up some books. I stumbled into my library 2 years ago and picked some books up. Got sucked into exzessive smartphone use before that and could barely read more than 10 minutes without getting restless or sleepy. Took a while to recondition myself to just sitting in a chair and reading but it‘s so much better than endless scrolling.
Fuck the endless barrage of subscription services. Imma just sit in me chair, read me book and torrent the occasional movie.
All kidding aside, AppleTV os the goat. Very little slop (unlike netflix), varied content (unlike Amazon), no endless pointless sequels and spinoffs (unlike Disney+).
I hate apple, but credit where it's due, AppleTV rules.
For two very important reasons. Apple doesn’t make shit, they don’t sit in the writers’ room, they don’t produce, they don’t interfere with the creation of their originals on any level. They buy IP rights and then hire experts to do all the work.
The second reason is Apple is spending more per episode of their originals than anyone else, including Netflix.
Sanctity of the creative process and a whole lotta money will get you very good content.
