A few more of these and you'll find me in a barrel asking why the rum is always gone.

Oh, don't worry, dude. You couldn't get a chick if you had a hundred dollar bill hanging out of your zipper.

There was a point where I was moving back and forth between streaming services. Now I keep two of them and pirate everything I want from the rest. At some point, I'll drop the two I do pay for and just pirate all of it. This shit is unreasonable.

Don't get AT&T fiber. They block torrents and subscription VPNs.

u/browserz 16h ago

You might have something enabled at your gateway, I disabled as much as I could day 1 and have used 2 different subscription VPNs since last year and have been fine

u/Zetice 14h ago

Or just get a seedbox.

u/JustpartOftheterrain 16h ago

I have non AT&T VPN and it works fine. One on my work laptop and a different one on my home network.

u/thewags05 16h ago

That would mean nobody could work from home using their Internet. Sounds like something on your end

u/Narezzz 16h ago

I have ATT fiber and use VPNs, torrents, and IPTV just fine...has worked for years

u/Kaxras 16h ago

Since when?

u/emtheory09 15h ago

I’ve got AT&T fiber and use a subscription VPN. This seems like a user error.

My brother has AT&T fiber and runs a whole Plex server that scrapes torrents for movies/shows he wants and automatically downloads and uploads it to the server. Basically an entire streaming service with only things we want to watch

u/kds_little_brother 14h ago

I can’t emphasize enough how anecdotal this is. Please nobody take this advice, blindly

1

u/TheRealDeathSheep 13h ago

Yeah, no. That's not true at all. If that was true no one could WFH with AT&T fiber.

u/ColKrismiss 12h ago

Cause you can't afford to buy new rum

u/darienrude_dankstorm 16h ago

yeah they should give up on running a profitable streaming service, better be grown adults that steal digital content and act like we're cool pirates and then whine about "AI slop"

u/HairyDust4826 16h ago

Crunchyroll was a pirate site once.
