Prices are rising across Netflix, Spotify, and their peers, and more people are quietly returning to the oldest playbook of the internet: piracy. Is the golden age of streaming over?

Oh yeah I was aware that it won’t change from 1080 to 720 :p.
But I thought the movie would just be corrupted an unplayable not lose quality bits !
Nope, on my first homelab setup some years ago (Raspberry Pi + 4tb HDD) i managed to drop the HDD and had to do some data recovery-fu to get my files back, and a lot of movies had artifacts from then on. 90% of the movie were fine but every few minutes there were compression errors with parts of the picture turning green or grey, among other graphical glitches.
