Comment on Netflix Starts Booting Subscribers Off Cheapest Basic Ads-Free Plan

You could just ditch all those apps and get Stremio with a Real-Debrid subscription. You can stream any content from any provider for ~$3/mo (including Netflix, A&E, History, Disney+, HBO Max, Prime Video, etc.) As-free, of course.

Basically R-D works by downloading torrents to a dedicated server, so you can stream them instantly using a Netflix-like interface on your TV/tablet/PC/phone (via Stremio). And since they’re direct downloads, you don’t have to wait for seeds, nor do you need a VPN. It’s like having a seedbox except anyone can add any torrent to it (and not just videos, but literally any torrent can be downloaded instantly).

Sorry if this reads like an ad, but I really want more people to know about this. There’s a better way than paying for a bunch of streaming services, or waiting hours for people to seed. Or signing up for a private tracker and having to constantly worry about keeping your seeding ratio up.

For anyone who is unclear, this is a pirated content service, to better or worse.

  And paying for it with a card with your name on it might be a bad idea…

    You can always pay with Monero, which is completely anonymous if used correctly.
    
    But I’m almost scared to mention this, given how much Lemmy hates crypto.

Or just use the torrentio plugin, no real debrid

  Yeah but then you need a VPN and lose the ability to steam instantly, defeating the entire point. The Torrentio plugin works best with a Debrid service.

    Not really a problem if you have decent enough internet and already use a vpn for other purposes but yes.

    I have gigabit internet, Debrid is still faster.
    
    Internet speed doesn’t matter when people are leeching or a torrent just doesn’t have many seeds. Debrid solves that problem. And it’s cheaper than a VPN, which is perfect for people who don’t need a VPN for other reasons.
