    The article wonders why would anyone pirate, let us give him the reason:

    1. Ads
    2. Multiple streaming services costing many times more than food. With nothing to see except for re runs and rehashes of old content.
    3. Ads
    4. Rising prices for poor service and shit content.
    5. Ads
    6. Geoblocking
    7. Ads
    8. Low quality videos even if you are willing to pay just because you don’t wish to use their specified player or browser. Why can’t I stream it to VLC player without the overhead of a browser.
    9. Ads
    10. All the while the CEO and the executive of the companies raking in billions on the money they are saying charging us for the artists.
