It's because paying isn't the issue. I'm not rejecting streaming on the basis of price (though, the current price of paying for even a couple at once doesn't help), I'm rejecting it on the basis of it being a fractured, inconsistent and lacking service that fundamentally acts against the interest of its users. If a streaming service offered the same things stremio+debrid does I'd happily pay 10x the price.
People used to pay others for burnt DVDs and CDs back in the day if they didn't have a pc with a burner themselves. Same thing really.
