      Debrid is actually pretty awful for torrents though, because it doesn’t seed at all. If everyone used it, nobody could. Encouraging others to use debrid is just marching debrid towards an early death.

        You’re definitely right. And that’s definitely a concern for me. If I could, I would just seed all of the shit I consume, but I can’t.

        I’m sure someone can figure out a better way.

      This is a great combo! I went from plex to RD+stremio and it’s great. Same selection for the most part. Only issue is you don’t retain the data. I am not a huge rewatcher or archiver so this is not a bad tradeoff for me.

        Yeah, if you want to have offline access, then Plex or Jellyfin or a combination of the two depending on your use-case is the obvious solution.

        I’m in the same boat; I simply can’t afford the storage to keep all the stuff I want, so streaming is my best bet until I can afford the storage.

        From what I’ve heard, the other options for debrid are pretty solid, but RD is actually insane. Really affordable as well.
