I feel like lately I’ve been doing more piracy than actually using the content I’ve been pirating. Curating a library has been so enjoyable lately, I’m not the only one right?

Right there with ya. I'm a data hoarder first and foremost. I have two goals when it comes to piracy:

A) If I have ever watched, read, listened, played, or otherwise enjoyed a piece of media, I will have it available at all times.

B) Do what I can to preserve said data so 40 years from now when I'm telling kids about some generic super hero comic, or SNES game, or obscure TV miniseries, I can pull that shit up in seconds instead of being the old senile man telling stories.

I got 30TB of space, I got almost every movie, TV show, stand up special, album, video game, comic book, novel, and essential software that I want (and adding more daily), and it's all served up to whatever friend wants it via Plex or whatever-other-means-I-need-depending-on-the-media.

Meanwhile I'm on my 35th watch through of Archer lol

I feel the same way about music, which is why I am an obsessive buyer of physical music.

This. I love just raiding local libraries for disks, checking them all out, and archiving. Only have a few tens of gigabytes rn (I'm a newbie), and only a few gigs of "downloaded for free" music, but I'm enjoying both the media and the process. Mostly just YouTube-music scraping with ytmp3, but looking to get more serious soon.

Link rot on YouTube is insane. I have been scraping old demos in case the accounts get reported or zapped for impolitic speech.
