Like the article says, im someone whos been out of the game for a while, but definitely interested in how this has been going

One commonly used app is legal but can, through community add-ons, channel illicit streams.

Anyone care to enlighten me? DM is fine if youd prefer

    I don't know, but i use stremio plus real debrid. I had to grab the torrentio add on to do it so it kind of fits the bill.

    This.

    Side note: I find it hilarious that we're paying for piracy. Gabe was right, it's a service issue.

    Correct, It is not a price issue, for me (Linux user) I can pay for legal site and watch in shitty quality, or pay for "alternative" distributors which not only have better quality but also have more content.

    And I pay for multiple more-or-less shady services, so in turn I pay more than some of my friends that use only one service and periodically switch to another.

    I want a service that "just work", not shitty ones that I need to look for the content I want to watch on multiple services and even then get idiotic region locked or ass quality.
