There is no denying there are plenty of other methods that work better for others. However if you want:

  • Cheap
  • Quick & Easy Setup
  • Run on any device (Exception for iOS but you can get around this with Stremio Web + VLC)
  • Whole Movie + TV Shows catalog to browse. Seeing trending items is handy.

Only issue I have had is niche Movies or TV Shows just do not have a Real-Debrid entry to stream so I’ll have to manually search, but this is rare.

    I’m curious why someone who is able to afford 40TB of drive space is interested in piracy. Is it more about archiving and ownership than saving a buck?

      I’m subscribed to 4 different streaming services and it’s still not everything. Also I’m not giving Rupert Murdoch a cent for all the damage he’s done to Australia. And Foxtel is owned by him and the only way to get any HBO shows for instance. And even if you paid them they only do 1080p.

      40TB of storage is around $800, or $33/m for 2 years, which is like two subscription services.

      Also, you can share what you’ve downloaded with friends, further driving down the cost compared that what would be paid to the corps

      I’m not the guy above, but I dont see how they’re comparable really. One is god knows how many monthly subscriptions for the rest of time, or the up front cost of storage.
