There’s a general sense of you should try to ethically pirate. Like no one cares if you shoplift from Walmart, but you’re a dick doing it to the local mom and pop grocery store who’s barely getting by.

On a more selfish level, paying for the things you enjoy shows whoever made it they’ll get money for it. Simple as that. If you really enjoy something stealing it isn’t going to convince them to make more. There’s been more than once where a game or show got pirated more than bought legally and it’s killed any future projects for it.

How is two taps, the second needing to be precise less movement than one general swipe?

Idk this is ambiguous stuff is how you can waste an hour with your players ripping everything off the walls because they think you being unclear is a signifier of something. Like you have to be more clear than ambiguous over all because they are playing a game and unless they are checked out will drill down into it. Maybe you don’t mind them wasting an hour investigating a pointless room or doing everything they can on an object because you were vague about it but it’s not rewarding for players. Like being vague about a rock is going to have any player take it with them compared to saying “it’s just a rock.” Maybe you can take those moments and make memories from improv’ing with them but itll get exhausting for both sides after awhile.

Yeah I wish there was a setting that’s like if it’s released in the last two years just grab it. I always have an issue with my peeps wanting old stuff. Like my uncle was like that and I let his shows auto approve but then he asked for some show from 2019 with 8 seasons and it grabbed like 200gbs of shows in a few hours and I was like “nope, no more”

I don’t think so, but I’ve never had someone do that on the old system. They always want all 16 seasons of some old show lol. Drives me crazy. My brother asks for a show every two weeks and be like where are they? And I’ll respond with the like last 12 shows he asked for with zero watch time from tautilli

Yeah I’ve been trying to cut out the middle man. My family isn’t technically proficient and I found just having it sync straight to Sonarr and Radarr was saving me a step since I always have them open and already have them accessible on my website. Since TV shows was the only thing I don’t have auto approve it just made the decision on letting it search or going out and manually finding a pack happen at the point that matters to me.

But yeah I still have the request site up but thinking of taking it down because I still have some issues pop up and less moving parts is better for me.

It’s also a plus for me because I use NZB360 to manage everything on my phone which is much better with Sonarr and Radarr

Fwiw there’s a new feature in Plex you have to opt into but the Sonarr and Radarr devs figured out how to use it. So you can make it so things people add to their watchlist on Plex get sent to the 'arrs. Like I have it auto add movies and search for them with the typical profile and then add TV shows unmonitored and send me a text message.

Really simplifies everything. Like now my grandma doesn’t have to go to a website and stuff. Since even if you turn off the free TV spam the search function will still return things you don’t have and let you naturally add it to your watchlist and even put it in a recently added bar on the watchlist page when it’s there.
