¯\_(ツ)_/¯ piracy is better anyway, I want full bitrate digital copies not compressed garbage.
Such a shame high bitrate full quality movies/TV shows will semi fade away as these asshole companies only stream their movies at 7 gigs an hour and never release physical media.
40GB Pirates of the Caribbean just hits differently. The black pearl coming out of an actual mist and not layers of gray that slowly recede because of compression is very awesome. FullHD with proper bitrate is enough for my 2m projector image, too.
This is one reason why I still buy blu-rays and 4k blu-rays. I’m not a fan of downloading torrents that large, but I can get Criterion Collection blu-rays regularly on sale for $15-$20.
And for newer movies, like the Dune films, I was able to get 4k blu-rays for like $15

100% It boggles my mind that very apparent compression artifacts don’t bother the average consumer.
I guess if you don’t know what it is, you can’t realize it is a flaw.
