To those who use IPTV services, why? (sh.itjust.works)

There are quite a few cheap IPTV subscriptions out there with 50k+ channels, but my question is, why do you still watch live TV? With piracy, you can grab any movie or TV show you want and watch it on demand with Jellyfin or Plex. Am I missing out by not watching TV channels myself?

I did the same thing at first. However, many times those free websites are very unstable, especially when I was in the middle of watching something exciting. It's quite frustrating and makes you question life. On top of that, the constant ads were annoying. Later on, I went searching for a reliable IPTV service. Besides spending some money each month, I no longer had to deal with that annoyance.
