(And I use “Free” loosely because I do pay for Prime Video, so it went from paid to much more expensive)

    Now is a great time to look into VPNs, 1337x, and qBittorrent. And of course Jellyfin.

      Nah fuck all that. Just get Stremio + Torrentio and pair it with Real-Debrid. No fucking around with downloading torrents and building a library. Just pick what you want to watch, and watch it. Works like any other streaming platform, except everything’s in one place.

        The problem with Stremio is that it relies on torrents, but only caches the content you’re watching. Essentially, it puts you into a permanent leecher mode, and rarely contributes any meaningful seeding because the content is deleted shortly after you’re done watching it.

        Stremio users are the libertarians of the piracy world. They’re staunchly independent, but also completely reliant on the infrastructure that seeders have set up and maintain. They want all of their content available conveniently, without actually putting in any of the “pay it forward” work that piracy relies on to stay healthy.

        Essentially, if everyone used Stremio, nobody would be able to use Stremio. Stremio is only possible because of the people who actually seed.

          Hear, hear. If you leech without seeding you are essentially killing the torrent.

            I’d argue that you’re not really hurting the torrent, since most torrents are already pre-cached. It only needs to be cached once for thousands to enjoy the file.

            Yeah it’s not ideal, but one hit and run isn’t going to make a dent in the grand scheme of things.

      or stremio + Torrentio + Real debrid, this is an easier method for those used to streaming without space on their pc

        Source?

        Also (and this is a genuine question): Why would I care? They don’t earn anything from me. Does their political affiliation matter when it comes to sourcing copyrighted material?
