Oldie but goodie:

We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem, - Gabe Newell

I don't know about you, but I'd be willing to pay a lot of money for a streaming service that guaranteed a good amount of shows I'd want to watch without ever taking any shows or features away

Sadly, no streaming service does this basic feature. It's all enshitification and fragmentation of good shows across multiple services

Yup, Stremio + realdebrid + VPN is utterly unmatched for service, plus you get fast torrents for everything else.
