    You have to find a streaming site that hasnt been subject to a DMCA takedown, where it has what you want to watch in good quality with the correct dubbing and subs, navigate through the popups (I even know some who do so without ublock), change your DNS in most cases because it’s been blocked by the ISP DNS (favorite method of blocking in france), and make sure the player actually works. Where I live you don’t really need a vpn for torrenting. Streaming is far from a “click and go” option. The only advantage I can find for streaming is not requiring disk space.

      Pretty sure folks are referring to streaming sites meaning like Netflix. The person you are responding to said “click and go” referring to services like YouTube and Hulu not sketchy “streaming” sites like what you are describing that require some hoops to go through to make sure.you don’t download a virus.
