they “watch what they want, when they want, where they want, and they don’t pay for it.”
Damn. Are these guys trying to sell me on being a striminal now?
You don’t say?
You know, I nearly stopped piracy entirely for a brief period, back when Netflix was top dog of streaming platforms.
Didn’t last very long…
Now I don’t pay for any subscription platform but one; Humble Monthly. All series and movies I either watch with friends through a dedicated Jellyfin server (owned by one of those friends) or through stremio.
Nope, just hard working pirates sailing the rough seas
They are saying that like it is a bad thing.
Bad for shareholders maybe.
The reason why I don’t pay for a lot of media is because, if I pay for it I won’t be able to watch what, when, where and how I want to.
If I could buy movies and TV series as h265 files with high bandwidth and no DRM I would pay for it.
I would also pay for streaming if it had all content available, no DRM that forces me to use Chrome to watch anything higher than 720p and a good interface.
But those things will never happen because executives are too greedy.
New Rule: Any article that introduces a new tech-based slang term (eg. “phubbing”, “striminals”) is worthless
It makes it sound cool! We’re cool! See? We can say cool slang things too! Like skibidi our new cool term “steiminals”!
The way this is phrased makes it sound like more than a third (60% of 69%) of millenials only ever consume media through piracy, which I find very hard to believe. What seems more likely to me is that the survey asked people if they have ever used piracy and now they’re trying to make this seem like a much bigger deal through misleading phrasing.
My main thing that pushes me towards being a striminal is that every service has all exclusive content.
If I wasn’t too watch star trek or star wars, hello Disney+. Stranger things? Netflix. The list is long, I won’t bore you with what you’re probably aware of.
Moving to bring a striminal, as they say, you can watch what you want, when you want, where you want. You get everything in one place, and don’t have to flip flop between services to simply see what’s available.
The cost of all of the services is a problem, sure, because it’s so damn costly for all of them combined. But that’s not my primary factor. It’s just so damned inconvenient to maintain so many disconnected accounts, and agglutinate all of the information into a sensible list of what’s new or available across all services.
I just want it to be easy and they’ve intentionally made it not easy.
I won’t comment if, or how many Linux ISOs I may or may not have.
I’m in college, and a lot of striminals don’t pirate streaming services like Netflix, but instead pirate live sports streams, because the legal alternative is pay like $70/mo for an ad-infested service. Nobody is paying that.
Pay a ridiculous amount ($479 for a season of NFL Sunday Ticket right now) and still maybe not be able to watch the game due to blackouts. Or this one is on ESPN. Or this one is on Amazon. Can’t watch this one just because fuck you. This one is in London and requires a subscription only accessible in one county of England.
Straight up the only way to watch some content. I could not figure out where to watch pantheon season 2 legally so I could literally only pirate it.
Unrelated but damn that show had so much wasted potential, season 1 is quite possibly my favorite western animated season of all time.
Meta torrented terabytes of pirated books for their AI, and they’re the 4th biggest company in US
Laughs in Streamio + Torrentio
I had that, but I haven’t had time to fix it since real-debrid stopped working.
I have the same trio (Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid) setup and it works great. You might need to relink Real Debrid and Stremio–it happened to me once when I let my Real-Debrid subscription lapse for a bit.
It’s working fine for me. The number of torrents went way down, but picked up and are nearly back to normal now 👍

I’m a millennial, but I don’t stream any pirated content whatsoever.
I download it from Usenet or sometimes torrents in its entirety. That way I don’t have to worry about the site I use getting shut down.
Sorry but I’m streamennial not striminal.
