How often do you consume the stuff you pirate? How do you avoid "hoarding"? (programming.dev)

Asking mostly because I have fuckloads of video courses, plus a number of movies, that I have yet to even check if the content is as good as their titles imply and I really feel like I'm mostly hoarding this stuff because I have no fucking clue.

Drive space can be had for less than 10USD a TB, so I'd hardly call hoarding a problem. Unless youre hoarding hundreds of copies of Call of Duty

Where do you get such cheap storage? I've seen it closer to $20/TB usually

I buy refirb server drives . With a raid array and warranty, the risk of a failing drive is within an acceptable range for me.

This listing was a bit cheaper last I looked, so just over $10/TB is more accurate to say now haha.
