They really had achieved the dream. They made a streaming account affordable and more convenient than pirating, so they had tons of customers, with piracy a long lost pastime for people like me. Then they got greedy like you said, and annoying, and many of us dusted off our sailing gear.

While streaming services have been undergoing enshittification, the tools for piracy have been getting more convenient too.

The arrs are amazing. I had been out for a while. It's more fun than streaming. Random stuff shows up that I wasn't expecting when it downloads a new show or moviess that I like.

What are the arrs?

Radarr, sonarr, prowlarr and others. Apps that monitor your library, your preferred shows and movies and download them automatically for better quality or just new releases. Particularly good for tv shows.

For real! Stremio+Real-Debrid is amazing. The fact that you can stream torrent now is so cool.
