Fucking vultures. Although it is free with prime so I kinda get it. But still, Netflix and Disney. Fuckers.

If there's ads on prime I'll just stop watching prime and pirate those shows.

Haha you just reminded me I could just do that

[–] Mojojojo1993 5 points 10 months ago

Too true. Depends how invasive the ads are. Pirating is fine but it takes a bit more preparation.

Man I just started watching a show there. Masterchef México

I looked it up on some uh, less reputable sources, but could only find like scattered single episode uploads.

I want to build my NAS and start just using Jellyfin but man is it an absolute pain in the ASS to find non-English content which is a lot of what I'm watching lately. I also couldn't find a Latino Spanish dub of ATLA in decent quality, or rather I did but only the first two seasons. Fortunately the full Blu-ray set was only like $10 but still.
