in which case, why buy it at all? A torrent isn't going to load as fast as what you paid YT for.

The further time goes on toward segmented streaming platforms and DRM bullshit, the deeper my piracy hedge grows. Eventually there will be a streaming service aggregation service a la Cable channels and we're back at square 1. Add to that streaming services pushing new ad schemes now that they've captured enough market share for the risk to be worth it, and we've got a great storm brewing for a resurgence in piracy and media execs going "but y?"
BTW modern piracy setups are far more streamlined and easier to manage/use than modern streaming platforms. Assuming you have some tech ability anyway.
Jellyfin on a NAS is just great. You don't even need a NAS. A Pi with a large SSD attached will do fine.
A half decent NAS, with Dockerised *rr is the gold standard of torrenting. I never knew it could be so painless.

Unless you want to rewind the video without it re-buffering...
