I personally buy the shows I want and rip them to my media server. It seems to be about $10/season, $10-15/movie, which I think is cheaper in the long run than paying for no-ads on these streaming services.

On top of that you get to keep the blu ray artworks and extras so pretty worth it i might say

Yup, and I can lend them to people as well. If I recommend someone, there's a good chance I have it, and there's also a good chance it's not on whatever streaming platform they use.
