Streaming Services, need a new map! - sh.itjust.works

It used to be that simple: r/plexshares, click any link, join the server, watch all you want. Well, they really cracked down on that. Plex purged the servers en masse, my server switched to some obscure emby, r/plexshares is closed for good. I’m in a need of a new server. Where do I even go? What platform is best to sail the seas now? Jellyfin? P.S. my torrent days are over, thanks. I’m not interested in self-hosting anything either, again, thanks. 10$/month is a reasonable subscription fee for an all-you-can-eat streaming service

The reason you’re not finding this is because everyone else was assuming all the risk by streaming the media to you. You were assuming none of the risk. If you want back in, you’re going to start having to assume some of the risk again, because that $10/month is what makes the operation actually something that the people offering the service can be criminally prosecuted for.

Come on, get outta here with this self entitled attitude. Would love to help, but it sounds like you don’t even want help, really. You just want to pay someone else to commit crimes and risk arrest so you can benefit.

Ah, and get outta here with this entitled attitude. I want to pay someone for something I can do myself: setup a Linux machine with a torrent, a movie organizer, and a jellyfin server. Easy. But maintaing it just eats too much time, which I don’t have.

Forget the legal risk, it’s laughable. And with a properly located server no one will even ever bother figuring out who’s running it.

If maintaining a server eats too much time, why on earth would someone do it for you for just $10 per month?
Because someone would be willing to do it for a bunch of people for $10/month each.
bingo. Why is it such a difficult concept. It makes sense to centralize work, that’s it.
