lmao, buddy you can get a 10tb hard drive for like $200 and fit all the pirated media you want on it. that's less money than two mainline subscriptions for a year.
the VAST majority of data hoarders are pirates. very very few actual spend fortunes on their media collections. that's why everyone is dogpilling you. it felt like you were attacking a strawman of the average user here and they feel the need to correct you about their nature.
it's not about pirates feeling moral or superior. it's about you being wrong about data hoarders.
Good advice, except that's not a long term storage. Bit corruption is a thing.
yeah, you certainly can spend more and get better, but most media consumers don't actually care about long term storage like that.
i only know the pricing on those drives because i just had to replace one in a nas device. i only spent money on a nas device because i work in media and need to keep large files for clients. i follow a 3-2-1 backup system because my job depends on it, but it's not at all necessary to enjoy media.
