Too Many Video Streaming Choices May Drive Users Back To Piracy

There are VPS out there geared towards Plex/Torrenting. Mine costs ~$15 a month and came with all the bells and whistles installed, though I did some tweaking because I enjoy it.

No need to worry about your home network speed or configuring your router, it's about the price of 1 or 2 subscription services, and I get to curate my collection of TV shows I watch so I just log in and see which new ones are available.

I suppose the setup could be onerous of you find technology intimidating, but once it's working it's an absolute breeze to use.

I do agree, however, that Disney's target audience is the 'I need a faux baby-sitter' type.

I’m speaking in general. I personally have gigabit up/down, no data caps, eight wired gigabit Ethernet connections throughout the house, 3 Roku TVs, a Roku stick 2 AppleTV 4Ks and my son has an Xbox 360 and PS4 with a wired gigabit connection on his room and a gigabit switch.

Yes that’s a grand total of 6 TVs. I have a Plex server setup.

But I know none of this is normal.
