Platforms wonder why piracy is spiking (7news.com.au)

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."

Exactly what I do... I keep thinking it's too good to last. I still download things if I know I'm going to rewatch them a lot.

Me too. But make sure to log into real debrid and just download it from there.

I'm gonna be honest. I never have done that till today. Wow... So much easier. Incredible.

Sometimes I find the movie with the best subtitles and then play it in streamio. Pause and then go to real debrid to download it for when I'm going on a flight.
