      I’m pretty sure it can be both. If there’s AmazingService that allows streaming everything there is on torrent and then some, but it costs thousands of dollars per month, no one would be able to afford it and it won’t have any meaningful impact on piracy.

        I don’t know about you, but I’d be willing to pay a lot of money for a streaming service that guaranteed a good amount of shows I’d want to watch without ever taking any shows or features away

        Sadly, no streaming service does this basic feature. It’s all enshitification and fragmentation of good shows across multiple services
