Hmm, I wonder why they don't make the ad-supported version free like, uh I dunno, Spotify, or YouTube

Oh, "Lemmy" guess, greed, isn't it?

I prefer to copy Hulu with Radarr and Sonarr, haha. I guess the one good thing about the enshittification of commercial streaming is that there will be more torrents available.
