Platforms wonder why piracy is spiking
Platforms wonder why piracy is spiking
It's not even surprising anymore platforms do this & act all Pikachu face why piracy is spiking
Netflix & all these streaming platforms have completely lost touch & they will lose more customers in the long run
To quote Gabe Newell on Piracy
"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable."

I accidentally pirate crap I have legitimate access to because I can't be bothered to figure out which damn platform its on. I have access to quite a few through work due to my industry at no out of pocket costs.
The times I try to actually search for something, it'll be listed on multiple platforms but 0 to 1 of those platforms will actually have what I'm looking for included with the subscription forcing me to manually check each one.
It is easier to just pirate.
when you need the modern equivalent of TV Guide just to find a show …
Yeah that’s called the *arr suite
Looks like it's written by AI.
Your case would apply for the legitimate use of streamio, where you can log into all the services and you can watch whatever through that service's credentials.
What services can I connect to Stremio? Max?
I have never used the intended features (torrentio ftw) but in this page they have a stack of app icons. There's prime video, netflix, HBO, disney...
Rotten Tomatoes will usually say where it's streaming. Or a quick Google search of "(TV show) where streaming" will get you there. At least it used to, Google is shit these days so who knows.
Justwatch.com is my go to
Cerement linked it in their comment
JustWatch also has direct links to IMBD in their descriptions.
Yes. I use it as my first step for sailing. See if it’s on a service I have then grab the imdb identifier if it’s not. Very handy if you sail old school manually like I do.
Depends on the country though as well. Its probably pretty easy to figure out for big ones like the USA, but in smaller countries its often a mess...
That info can go stale quickly as content licensing changes. I've ran into that plenty.
