What the hell ever happened with ReiserFS (or whatever it was called?) It was supposed to be used in Vista, and then just never was.

Thank you. I was worried that I was shouting at brick walls for a moment.

I also use Stremio with Real-Debrid. The girlfriend knows nothing about piracy, but Stremio is so easy and convenient that my mother could use it. She uses it almost daily to watch anime that she can't find on Crunchyroll.

People are suspicious cause it does sound too good to be true; I get it. Being able to stream any 4K HDR video you want without buffering seems unbelievable. It's a little frustrating cause I always seem to get downvoted by a bunch of skeptics every time I bring up Debrid. Maybe cause I come on too hard and sound like an advertisement, but I can't help but be fanatical about it. It's just so much better than any other method for obtaining free content!

That sucks. Happens when there's no competition in your area. Verizon is $60 for 1Gbps here, no data cap, because they have to compete with Cox. Greedy bastards.

Alright fine. I hope I managed to convince at least one other person, though...

Well I'm only talking about political news videos, here. Sorry for not clarifying.

Yes but steaming veggies is just doing a disservice to them. You do you, but personally I'd never do that ever for any reason.

You might not have to. Look into fixed 5G internet. So long as you have a view of a tower (which you should in a major metropolitan city; I'm in suburbia and still have 3 within view), speeds and latency are as good as a wired connection. I'd look into it.

Bro, you have no idea what you're turning down. I get it; on the surface it does seem sus. I was suspicious too until I tried it. Debrid is an absolute game-changer. It's kind of like a seed box, except it's more like a collective seed box. So if at least one user added the torrent before, you can download it immediately.

I don't know what you mean by "lack of detail / pricing" on their website. The pricing is laid out very clearly, and there's not a lot of explanation cause it's really that simple. (EDIT: Looks like you need to make a free account to see the pricing; I'll admit that's stupid). So here's a screenshot:

You don't have to use Real-Debrid. I just mentioned them cause they're the most popular. Google "Debrid services" for alternatives. There's also a megathread on reddit.

I get the "never pay for piracy" argument, but with torrents you need a VPN to keep your ISP off your ass, so at the end of the day, you're paying for piracy regardless. Debrid is cheaper than a VPN.

It bothers me so much that you're not willing to give it a shot, that I made a video to show you how fast, easy, and convenient it is. And here's another video of me streaming a movie almost instantly, in case you still think I'm full of shit. (Videos might still be processing when you see this, so try again later if the quality is too low for you to see what I'm doing.)

Wow I had that in 2008. Damn that sucks. You can't even stream 4K HDR video.

You pay $4 more than I do for the same thing (with no bandwidth cap). If you're not out in the sticks, internet is fine here.

In rural areas, yes.

In cities, Gigabit internet is abundant and only mildly expensive. Here in Phoenix I pay $60/mo for 1 Gbps down, 50 Mbps up with no bandwidth cap from Verizon. Not the best but far from "awful".
