and piracy has become easier than ever; with the Plex and the *arr suite of apps (plus a VPN), it's become a completely automated process to create your own, custom streaming server, and for cheaper than paying for several streaming services.

Welp. I had them with FiOS but since I moved I no longer have FiOS and so no more Max either, but I'm much less disappointed now.
