I torrent too, but I think it makes sense to buy/rent or sub to a service in many cases. Companies look at views and revenue to decide what content to actually make. So, especially for ongoing series that I'm enjoying I want them to keep renewing it.

I subscribe to ad-free versions of services so I don't really run into ads a lot unless I'm trying to watch something live on TV.





Irrelevant to me. The amount of TV shows I enjoyed that got canned after S01 has burnt me so much that I wait until I know if there's a sensible finale at the end or if it ends on a cliffhanger that'll never be resolved before I even dive into a new show.

Firefly *cries*

How did good movies and TV shows get made before the panopticon? How did we get Casa Blanca when there were no Nielsen ratings?

It was real for the actors, som ehad really fled the Nazis (including the ones playing the Nazis).

Social discourse is also heavily weighted

I wonder if any of them track torrent metrics for this reason.
