My mom wants "free" full movies on Youtube

Some things that make it very annoying to me:

  • She complains whenever she can't find certain movies
  • She usually searches using the complete video title in the search bar, it's usually something like: Movie name - Complete Movie - Dubbed - Pirate Site or Uploader - Genre
    • She has a list of saved movie/video titles in a .docx file, where she also writes whether she liked the movie or not. Whenever a YT search shows something she thinks she'll be interested, she copies the title to the doc.
    • Will usually use that same search on Netflix, or continue typing and adding more despite no search results showing already.
  • Complains about video/audio quality
  • Complains when there's no dubbed version
  • Complains when the "movie" is just a trailer repeating for 1 hour
  • Seems to willfully ignore my explanations to why searching for and watching full movies on YT sucks (it's pirate content on a platform that doesn't allow piracy)
  • Ignores some 🏴‍☠️ alternatives I've set up, because "there's nothing interesting there"
  • "Forgets" anything I teach her about searching and search terms in 5 minutes

To be fair, most of the movies she "wants" to watch aren't available on any streaming services. Feels like I'm dealing with the world's worst pirate.
