You know who the price hikes haven’t affected?

      We called them streaming services. Calling them stream-ers sounds like the media is trying to make them sound cuddly and non hostile.

      Yes, it seems like a really recent term to me. I first heard it when the writers strike began and never before that.

      When I think streamer I think of people on Twitch or YouTube who stream themselves. No idea where calling streaming services/sites “streamers” came from but it always confuses me.

    I just canceled our last holdout (appletv+, who put out a surprising amount of S-tier content) in order to pay for real-debrid.

    I’ve switched over from mulitple apps (including plex) to a single stremio+torrentio and I don’t understand why I didn’t do this sooner. Anything I want to watch streams immediately in 4k. altho I might upgrade to premiumize.me instead because they use usenet and ddl links, so more likely to have older content.

    I don’t have a proper solution for my iOS phone yet tho, but I rarely watch content on my phone anyway.

        No need to to make fun of another’s boat matey. We all sail the same high seas. Some venture farther from shores then others and that’s ok.

          I was mostly just poking fun. Right now my media is only consumed at one location, so I primarily use Kodi on an Asus mini PC. I will likely keep Kodi as a client, and move to Jellyfin as a server in the future to allow for more clients.

          EDIT: I understand downvoting my original tongue in cheek comment. Downvoting my response to someone’s follow up question is pretty odd though. Especially the guy signing in with multiple accounts to do so 🤨
