Honestly despite paying fot netflix, I never stop using torrents, even for netflix shows.

Their UI is terrible and the geographic limitations are annoying,, your watch list is unusable and the suggestions keep getting in your way.

Much easier to use the stremio app for most things.

I use Netflix to discover things I might be interested in, and if I want to keep watching I go to the high seas.

I have all the other mainline streaming apps installed, sans a login. I use it purely for discovery.

I have to say that the frequency of finding something worthwhile on netflix is decreasing...

It’s more that Netflix accumulated more internal content gatekeepers over time. They became the filters

I personally use Trakt.tv to see popular and trending content. Then you don’t have to pilfer through each individual app or service.

The other plus side is that this is content that people are actually watching (via marking as watched for tracking or scrobbling) so you also get the positive benefit of seeing what people are watching, not just things that Netflix or other providers want you to watch or who has paid the top dollar for your eyeballs.

Streamio in conjunction with real debrid and there’s little risk, with the library of the world at your fingertips.

It’s the one stop shop that you would hope that all the streaming services could be, if they teamed up and split profits based upon views.
