Here's what I'm currently automating: I want to immediately be notified of any new post from a number of RSS feeds, so I have automation send me a notification (to ntfy) giving a description of the post. This way, I can take action right away if I need to.
And as well, depending on how you watch TV and movies, there are ways to be notified when they are available to watch. And again can be notified to ntfy. Of course this can be used legally, and I'm certain there are not so legal ways as well.
