This. My only media expense monthly is my VPN at $10. Everything is pirated.
Even that though - I just download only my favorites for the collection. Everything else is available on stand alone websites these days (multiple) so if you’re paying for a streaming service or really even using bittorrent then you’re living in the past as far as movies go.
But then it’s in DVD quality. Why not just pirate a full quality version?

DVD isn’t very good quality. I don’t really care and I have a tiny TV, and DVDs still don’t look very good on it.
The video quality is shit and it’s extremely obvious in my opinion. Even the sound is inferior to a good torrent with Dolby TrueHD/DTS HD sound.

What should I be using instead of (q)bittorrent?
fmhy.net will tell you.
QBitTorrent is fine. BitTorrent and its children are not.
Blurays exist and they’re pretty cheap from thrift stores (often just $3)
Piracy is free though
Ya but Blu-ray is a PITA to rip sometimes.
