Fair point. Appreciate your perspective.

I guess that is what happens with a Twitter replacement, still the same Twitter community.

Well said, unfortunate reality.

TL;DR:

* Stremio is a digital media player that allows you to stream high-quality videos and add subtitles.
* Torrentio is an unofficial add-on for Stremio that allows you to stream movies and TV shows from torrent sites.
* Real Debrid is a debrid service that allows you to connect directly to a server instead of having your IP shared in peer-to-peer and to speed up performance.

Privacy is good. You are just streaming the links through HTTPS link that Real Debrid offer you. You can use without a VPN but if you want to be cautious you can use one on top of it.

You’re not wrong.
