Real-Debrid, a popular streaming and download service, has started returning copyright-infringement errors on many cached torrents. The renewed crackdown began days after a corporate restructuring. A third-party source says that long-time subscribers have lost 50 to 70 percent of their libraries overnight, with the filter targeting popular keywords such as WEB-DL, AMZN, and [RARBG].

I guess I'm just old, I dunno. What's wrong with just opening a magnet link and downloading a video?

    My relatives exclusively watch TV on their smart TV, so something as close as possible to Netflix-levels of usability (search for content and watch it within a similar user interface) was necessary for it to work for them at all.

    I wish Stremio had a better new content recommendation system, as running out of things to watch without knowing of new things means they often end up watching AI slop on YouTube instead.
