If it happens, and you do, host it, and set up a donation box too.

Most likely, I just dedicate an old laptop, a 4k HDMI capture device, store off MP4 and feed it through comskip then take it h265 and store it off.

If I don’t do anything tricky with the browser they can’t detect that I’m doing anything tricky at all.

The only thing I’m a little concerned about is that they’re going to start doing advertising like broadcast TV did and put quarter screen commercials up for other shows in the middle of running shows.

So you want someone to broadcast, and you’re willing to pay for it, but not willing to support the content creators in any way?

I would happily watch ads if they were non-intrusive and non-interrupting ads like side banners that don’t cause popups, or product placement inside videos.

I would also pay for a platform where 100% of the money goes to paying for hosting and paying the creators.

Neither of these things are happening, so yes, I would rather donate to support piracy.
