I have spent some time recently browsing through the various streaming options listed in the piracy and FMHY megathreads and I am curious which one people prefer.

movie-web for example works great but when you click on a title it goes right to playing where as Braflix pulls up a summary, trailer, and list of actors. Braflix also categories based on the streaming service like Apple+ and Amazon which can be good for content discovery.

Unfortunately you can't click on the streaming service categories to view more and it doesn't list a lot of other somewhat popular streaming services like Shudder. Braflix also doesn't say what whether or not something is a cam rip unlike some sites like himovies.

Some websites also handle sorting better than others or have server problems.

I don't know if people really care or if they just click on the first link they see/use what they've already been using for years.

Content discovery for me is probably the most important factor. I like being able to sort by the IMDb rating and having a section that says "If you like X you might like Y" is also nice.

A year and a half ago I could have named a bunch, used them for over a decade (but of course domains would frequently change). But since switching to my own plex server + torrent, I've never looked back. It gives you all the meta data, trailers, rating and recommendations which you'd expect from paid streaming services, even features like skip intro/credits and keeping track of your progress (even mid episode).

I know, it's not what you're asking for, but someone had to bring it up.
