No paid media streaming service could ever topple an automated Jellyfin server. Who wants to scroll through pages of dogshit content just to find something decent to watch?

I have my own personal plex server that I pretty much only use for downloading 4K Remux files, so I'm used to pirating shit. I gotta say Stremio w/ Real Debrid sub is super fucking good. I only use it on my phone, so to be able to pull up any movie or tv show on the go for like $4 bucks a month for it's cheapest option is crazy. I'm sure it'll get nuked at some point, but currently 6 months goes for $18 dollars. I spend that much on lunch some days. It's a really good deal that requires 0 effort on my part. I think we should be open to supporting good services and consider ourselves pirates still.

If you are consuming media in any non-DRM format, then you are effectively a pirate.

As much as I like Real Debrid, over a long enough period the subscriptions should get you a raspberry Pi as a home media server. I personally like having more control over my media.
