Streaming Services, need a new map! - eviltoast

It used to be that simple: r/plexshares, click any link, join the server, watch all you want.

Well, they really cracked down on that. Plex purged the servers en masse, my server switched to some obscure emby, r/plexshares is closed for good.

I’m in a need of a new server. Where do I even go? What platform is best to sail the seas now? Jellyfin?

P.S. my torrent days are over, thanks. I’m not interested in self-hosting anything either, again, thanks. 10$/month is a reasonable subscription fee for an all-you-can-eat streaming service

    While this is a great and easy option, bear in mind… Where do you think RD gets the content for you? It’s entirely reliant on other people doing the work. It’s the uploaders and seeders who keep it alive.

    It’s very easy for you to just go grab that content for yourself without sharing it, but what will happen if everyone starts doing it?

    Especially people like OP, who want the ease without the effort
