Platforms wonder why piracy is spiking (7news.com.au)

It's not even surprising anymore platforms do this & act all Pikachu face why piracy is spiking

Netflix & all these streaming platforms have completely lost touch & they will lose more customers in the long run

To quote Gabe Newell on Piracy

"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable."

Your case would apply for the legitimate use of streamio, where you can log into all the services and you can watch whatever through that service's credentials.

What services can I connect to Stremio? Max?

I have never used the intended features (torrentio ftw) but in this page they have a stack of app icons. There's prime video, netflix, HBO, disney...

Yeah, but you don't actually watch them through Stremio - it just links to the app, then you have to search for it again (or maybe there are still some which allow deep linking direct to the actual movie/episode) and, if Stremio is doing the same as Justwatch, quite often find out the data is wrong (or you have to pay on top of your subscription).
