Disney is removing original content from its streaming platforms to cut spending on residual payments to writers and actors. The company is also claiming the purge will result in $1.5 billion in losses — which could amount to a substantial tax break.
The landscape changed a lot, there’s options now where you can create a better experience than the paid services (you may need to pay a little but for a debrid service though). These answers lay on Lemmy already…
Any links for stuff like that with a decent UX? Any support for casting to a TV would be especially wonderful without needing to hassle myself with a plex server but I’ll take anything to avoid these streaming platforms wars
Look for the stremio + torrentio + real debrid guide. Very easy. For next level pair it with a Trakt account to curate your own feed in Stremio and get personalized recommendations / have stuff marked as watched automatically.
Do I need to subscribe to real debris or are there other alternatives?
You could just ignore that part but then I’d advise having a VPN instead. Also performance is going to be much poorer.
There are other debrid services yeah, but you’ll also have to pay.
