I agree. It seems like an flippant opinion, and I'm sure many use it that way, but some services, and frankly, regimes have proven that convenience, comfort and ease of access is very attractive to people. If a service can navigate the obstacles such as copyright, they will be more popular than taking the thing for free with a bit of work.
As a mentionned to someone else in the thread, i've realized that i was actually ok seeing less popular content straight from the remote control, than search for the top content in torrents.
Ease of use and guaranteed video & subtitles quality can compensate to some degree to not having access to all the content in the world.
No doubt! I'm in IT myself and it's second nature doing stuff like this. Most people have a different set of experience and knowledge though. I only experienced the convenience of streaming sites when I began using other devices for media, like my phone. On the phone, it was much easier to use whatever streaming than to search a torrent site, download on phone / seedbox, wait, navigate to the file, play the file. With streaming it's just search and play.
