Piracy is a hassle, the convenience of streaming made the cost worthwhile. They’ve forgotten this. Once the cost outweighs the convenience, the hassle won’t seem like such a hassle anymore.
Kodi, Seren add-on and a debrid provider like Premiumize gets me better service than any streaming provider. Multiple source streams on any show in the last couple decades and every movie way earlier than is available from any source I’ve ever seen. If its not available as a cached stream, I can queue a torrent file at their end and stack them up until I’m ready to watch it, but I’ve rarely had to do that.
It’s not a hassle at all. I use my phone to tell my computer what I’m interested in watching. It automatically downloads that, and when I’m ready to watch something it streams to my TV. After I’m done with it, my computer removes it.
As a person who uses stremio; not only is it not more of a hassle than streaming services, it’s WAY less. Astronomically so. You set it up once and you have literally everything

Only upfront effort. Downloading is almost as much of a hassle as choosing what to play tonight.
Once it’s on the disk it’s fair game.
Back in my day, it was a much more involved process.
Do people really rewatch stuff that often?
