Their caption “look, it’s all my favorite streaming services on one platform!” Is probably better than mine lol

    I agree that Stremio is probably best for less tech-savvy users, but I prefer recommending open source over proprietary, free over paid subscriptions, and self-hosted over relying on some company to remain in service. I also prefer having local copies of my media so that I don’t lose anything to no seeders on old media. Of course, there still is a cost component for me, I have to buy hard drives and maintain the server myself.

    However, I just want people to move off of streaming services, so if you can help others with a streamio + real debrid setup, please do!

      I do agree with you, but Stremio has been around for 10 years, Real Debrid for around 15. To me it doesn’t seem like one of those copycat services that come out every few months after the previous one gets taken down. Seems it’s here for the long haul. It’s also not very expensive at all. Real Debrid is all you need to pay for and it’s something like £7.50 for 3 months. With this setup, you gain access to basically everything. Apple TV, Netflix, Prime shows, Disney etc.

      Not trying to convince you at all. I appreciate what you’re saying. Just thought I’d give a little more info.

      If people want to check it out, look into Stremio + Torrentio + RealDebrid. It can be setup on a Firestick also.
