It's not enough to make a profit, you need to make more profit than last year.

Netflix, Disney+, TVNZ+ etc all happily solved "the piracy" problem because piracy was a mitigation of broadcast TV's anti-consumer distribution business model.

Now these pigs have saturated the market (there are no more non-subscribers to sell to) and bump up their prices without any commensurate lifting service to inflate profit.

All they are doing is pricing people back to piracy.

Time to break out the old Sonarr/Radar stack again.

100% this. I always picture Agent Smith from Matrix Revolutions - "MORE!" .

I had a brilliant home server set up about 15 years back with a Usenet subscription, SABnzbd Sickbeard, Couchpotato, Sonaar etc. Might be time to check out the modern versions and put something back together. Sigh.

I’ve heard that stremio + real debrid is a convenient setup these days, way easier than all the *arrs
