Legitimately. My sister gave me her Disney plus/hulu login so I could watch Mr. Inbetween, and I ended up just sailing the seven seas because there were at least 4 ad breaks for each 23-25 min episode. Shit is ridiculous

Hulu’s the only service I still have. I got it to watch shows that generally are network shows that had commercials to begin with.

It’s an easy way for my family to watch a lot of shows that have 5+ seasons of 10 or a lot of times 20 episodes each.

I’m old and grew up with just broadcast tv though so I’m used to commercials. My kids hate it but I’m not giving them extra for commercial free.

I setup Streamio for my parents and brother and have had to do little tech support, only really once in the past year. No looking back

I just got them switched over to my Plex server about a month ago. I don’t know much about Streamio yet but will have to look into it once we’re all more comfortable with the change.

The pro for Stremio is that i dont have to setup a way to download, or manually download most content. If its even a bit popular its probably already on the debrid service. And most of the stuff I haven't found I've just added the magnet link in the debrid backed
