Streaming sites? My brother in Christ, you need to ditch those unreliable websites that hardly work and go down all the time, and get a proper media center setup. Here are some terms to look up to get you started:

Stremio
Stremio addons: Torrentio, Streaming Catalogs, Trakt.tv
Real-Debrid

That's the basic setup you'll want for a proper good time. Instantly stream any show or movie from any provider for free (Netflix, Disney, Prime Video, HBO, Apple TV, etc.). Get recommendations based on your viewing habits. Compatible with all your devices, including smart TVs. Torrent-based so it won't get taken offline (at least not anytime soon). Torrents are already stored on a server so there's no waiting on seeds (which is what Real-Debrid does. Optional and $3/mo but it makes the experience much smoother, especially if you want to watch something older/more obscure. And it eliminates the need for a VPN. Plus it works for any torrent, not just media).

Trust me, this is the way to go. Once you get everything set up, it's so easy and straightforward to use that my grandmother could navigate Stremio and not even know that it's a pirate service. Good luck and happy sailing. 🏴‍☠️

I watched furiosa in HD 2 weeks ago.

Zero problems.

I watched house of dragons a few nights ago, no problem.

Last night I watched the original episode of ancient aliens no problem.

I use Firefox, bookmarks (many sites exist), and ublock, and a proxy.

I spend zero dollars. I have zero problems.

I have all the things.

When all the sites get banned, I might take more drastic measure. For now, I have no problem even when one or 10 sites go down.

Stremio is easier and paying is optional
