With all of the free content out there on 'net in various places, and the fact that I get ~60 TV channels for free with an antenna, remind me again why I would even CONSIDER paying for a streaming service..... Especially the likes of Disney or ESPN.
Stremio for the win! The streaming market is going down hill.
I just wish it had native offline mode 😅
I know it isn't a "hot take", but the streaming market is expensive and oversaturated. And price increases to boot? No thanks...
Seconded. FEELS like there's two dozen apps and each one is $20, still including ads. LOL. I refuse to pay for any of these services.
