I feel conflicted about sites like those vs things like torrenting and other p2p. Torrenting is individuals sharing things directly.but aren’t those sites hosting the pirated content and serving their own ads along side? That feels closer to theft for me than piracy.

You’re right, the actual chad move is torrenting and seeding.

Yeah I'm glad that these pirate streaming sites are taking a lot of heat off us

I'll admit I prefer fmovies and the like when I don't want to wait for a download and want to watch it now.

Last Week Tonight is often in that category.

But shows like Parks and Rec, Lower Decks, that shit gets torrented.

Besides, I think Fmovies has a much lower barrier to entry than torrenting.

Torrents also will have higher quality, usually noticeable pretty stark in action scenes.

Those sites all have ridiculously low bitrates; way lower than I can personally tolerate. I've switched to torrenting everything at MUCH higher quality. Takes some effort to get good torrents and sometimes seeds are an issue but the end result is worth it. Thinking of getting a seedbox while I'm at it too.

Everyone I know just uses EgyBest. All I know about it is that it shoves watermarks down your throat, and unnecessary Arabic subtitles that you can't remove. And of course the low bitrates.

Dont pointlessly share these sites for upvotes. You just speed up take-downs. Who knows how many resources are available to the people risking themselves to host it? Be mindful.

Yes. Sharing sites on Lemmy will speed up takedowns.

Stremio can do it too as long as you have correct plugins

If you want an app, cloudstream is nice. Its open source and app itself is not illegal because you have to use plugins which then download the movies.

Flixify is amazing, the only drawback is you need to invite people. And i am out of invites

The Venn diagram cross-section of people using that service to watch those videos versus the circle of people not running an ad blocker would seem to be very very very small.
