Hello guys, I’m curious about this meme, is there some literature where I can find someguides to test this? Thanks.

You wouldn’t pay for 4k Netflix and then download a Chromebook recovery image in order to extract the aarch64 widevine com blobs and then patch in support for 16k pages and then apply miscellaneous glibc compat workarounds and then spoof your useragent, and install a browser extension to unlock HD resolutions, to legally watch media in only 1080p

It’s going to be way easier just to torrent the files. Also if netflix notices your account is suddenly going through ten times the data they may deactivate it.

But the author is actually using less data than expected, because he’s paying for 4K, but only able to watch up to 1080p

This level of effort is probably geared more towards those who create the torrents, not those who consume them.

Hi. No it isn’t. Things are usually ripped by recording the screen.

I removed my downvote after realizing you’re actually right, in a sense. In scene terms, a “webrip” can be a screen recording, whereas a “web-dl” by definition isn’t. By these definitions,

Things are usually ripped by recording the screen

could likely be true, even moreso if you count “recording hdmi stream after breaking hdcp” as a screen recording.
