The only caveat here is that RealDebrid is a paid service

...and for that reason I'm out

I was easily paying over $60 a month for various streaming services, now I pay $3.

Yeah, I already have a QNAP 8-bay NAS with the *Arr stack pulling tv shows and movies and automatically serving them up in my Plex instance "for free" (because operating costs).

Stremio is just super convenient, and that's what I'm paying for, the convenience. I can just turn it on and start watching random garbage tv and don't have to worry about it taking up space on my server, because it's content that I will probably never watch again.
