I used to manage my files manually. Once Netflix decided to cancel most of the series I liked and raise the price at the same time as most compagnies removed their content from there to start their own streaming services, I decided that I should manage my own stuff, so I looked at ways to automate everything to make it simpler.

Now I have a beefy setup that I like and is more reliable than having to find which service offer what and having to juggle subscriptions. It's not even about money, it's about ease of use and accessibility.
