I've seen many people have insane setups to download things automatically and NAS' with tens of terabytes of capacity, which i don't understand at all.

I have a 1 tb drive from 2013 of which I'm using ~850GB and most of the space is used by series i have already watched and haven't bothered to delete.

What are you storing to need so much space and how are you finding so much good content that you actually want to save?

Finding stuff to watch:

Honestly:
Ads on Youtube

Besides that: Reddit r/movies, random posters I see in day to day IRL or online or with NZB360 (which utilizes Trakt and TMDB)

Storing stuff:

7TB external HDD plugged into an Intel NUC acting as a makeshift NAS with OMV.
What I store is mostly what is of interest.
Movie: ~ 3.3TiB (419 movies)
Anime and TV: ~2.7TiB (133 shows total)

I have currently about 500GiB free storage and if I am ever short on something I will delete what I deem unworthy to keep or not worth the quality (like a 1080p BluRay instead of a 4K Remux)

What I keep:

Hard to aquire
Favorites
Rewatchable stuff like short cartoons

I love how this is my same routine except I only have 600ish Gb to work with total, the rest is for gaming.

I use adblock on all my devices so i don't see ads and even if i did, most of the shows advertised here in Finland don't really interest me.
