Who are the people who pay for netflix instead of torrenting?

Someone has to.

Guilty as charged. Netflix has a lot of good content and their app works well so I don't mind paying for it, though I still put on my eyepatch from time to time when I want to watch something they don't have.

My VPN (and mail, storage and email masking service) costs 60 eur per year, while Netflix for just me on good quality is 144 eur per year and that's sponsoring a service that cancels good shows left and right.

If I particularly like a movie, I'll buy it on YouTube, but other than that I've got my little ship and I'm sailing with it.
