Op-ed: Apps promised to free us from ad-supported subscription bundles. Oops!

    I would rather not have to use something that is just a server for all of my media. I haven’t really been in the pirating space much in the last ten years and all my hard drives from before that are starting to fail. I just want to pay $100 a year or whatever it is and get to watch it all, including live sports.
