Ah, the ‘literally’ of another generation left behind.
Stremio can do it too as long as you have correct plugins
And does it way better.
Imagine generating ad revenue for sketchy sites serving stolen content
Don’t talk shit about Disney+
Torrent like a real pirate you’re an accessory to theft
Theft of what?
I will, because it’s $10 a month for the privilege to watch their content with ads, and the price is going up again soon.
Didn’t think it needed an /s …
You mean disney+?
Imagine seeing ads.
The Venn diagram cross-section of people using that service to watch those videos versus the circle of people not running an ad blocker would seem to be very very very small.
What is an ad
Don’t read the FMovies SpiderVerse comment section
Those sites all have ridiculously low bitrates; way lower than I can personally tolerate. I’ve switched to torrenting everything at MUCH higher quality. Takes some effort to get good torrents and sometimes seeds are an issue but the end result is worth it. Thinking of getting a seedbox while I’m at it too.
Everyone I know just uses EgyBest. All I know about it is that it shoves watermarks down your throat, and unnecessary Arabic subtitles that you can’t remove. And of course the low bitrates.
I feel conflicted about sites like those vs things like torrenting and other p2p. Torrenting is individuals sharing things directly.but aren’t those sites hosting the pirated content and serving their own ads along side? That feels closer to theft for me than piracy.
You’re right, the actual chad move is torrenting and seeding.
Yeah I’m glad that these pirate streaming sites are taking a lot of heat off us
I’ll admit I prefer fmovies and the like when I don’t want to wait for a download and want to watch it now.
Last Week Tonight is often in that category.
But shows like Parks and Rec, Lower Decks, that shit gets torrented.
Besides, I think Fmovies has a much lower barrier to entry than torrenting.
Just set up sonarr for TV shows (radarr for movies, or any or the other arr suite apps for their media). I usually watch last week tonight on Monday mornings, but the file is normally there before midnight. Sonarr automatically looks for it in multiple torrent indexers once it’s been released, sends a torrent file to qbittorrent (matching my quality settings, seeder counts, etc), then copies and renames the downloaded file to my Plex TV folder so I have it available very soon after it’s released
Torrents also will have higher quality, usually noticeable pretty stark in action scenes.
Flixify is amazing, the only drawback is you need to invite people. And i am out of invites
Dont pointlessly share these sites for upvotes. You just speed up take-downs. Who knows how many resources are available to the people risking themselves to host it? Be mindful.
Yes. Sharing sites on Lemmy will speed up takedowns.
If you want an app, cloudstream is nice. Its open source and app itself is not illegal because you have to use plugins which then download the movies.
