I used to have a lot of pirated TV shows and movies that I lost ages ago and sure they weren't in the best quality but some things are just hard to find anymore.

I was in a situation of "storage was getting a bit too expensive, and streaming is now available but who cares" so when my storage got pretty full I started deleting old TV shows and movies I didn't think I'd watch anymore.

100% regret on that. I've recovered a lot of content but some older things are hard to get or what you end up is out-of-order seasons of TV shows which is highly annoying.
