I'll either watch pirated content or nothing at all. Having a bunch of streaming services that you pay out the ass for is a turn off for me because it suggests a lack of financial responsibility. Deal with it.

You do realize there's a middleground there, right?
I buy the content I want and rip it to my NAS to stream to my TV. My total cost is less than streaming services (I don't watch a lot), but I do pay for the content. So the only complication on my network is if my NAS turns off, in which case I'll just walk over and powercycle it and we're good. One great part is that if my internet dies (it seems to go out like once/month), I can still stream whatever, so my setup is better IMO than streaming services.
Subscriptions are for suckers, but that doesn't mean piracy is the only alternative. I only pirate stuff I can't get legally at a reasonable price (e.g. old movies/shows, streaming service exclusives, etc).
Exactly. Couple years ago when everything was on netflix I gladly gave them money but now it feels like every season of every somewhat good show is on a different platform.

Just rename Jellyfin into DisneyFlix++ or whatever.
Or use Kodi with that Netflix skin.
Or just share screen from your phone on TV.
You phone is always on VPN to home network, right?
