Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster's taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing.

The earliest desired media I can remember that drove me to figure out sailing was DC Talk, a Christian rock band. Pop music was not allowed in my house, so a Christian group was tantalizing and scandalous to a rebellious, young Vanth. Things escalated from there.

Same for me - I got fed up of using JustWatch to check which (if any) of my subscribed streaming platforms had the film I wanted, open said platform, search for the film, find out it's not actually available (or I have to pay on top of my subscription), and rage quit.

I even looked for a way to use lots of streaming platforms from the same interface, but of course you can't do that cause DRM/lockin/etc.

Yeah they're fighting really hard to combat piracy, but at the same time all their decisions are what is actively pushing their customers (back) to piracy.
