Anecdotally from people I've spoken to about this recently, it seems to be a mix of:
Can't say I remember anyone mentioning old school download or video streaming sites like that in ages.
Might just be the people I've spoken to though, it's not a topic that comes up every day after all
Mega is cloud storage, those others are not. Am I missing something? Mega, Plex, and real-debrid have totally different functions to me. The only relation is they’re tangential to piracy.
I still use Mega from time to time if I want to publicly share something I ripped. Seems like the best free cloud storage for that purpose.
Ah sorry my bad! Looks like I went in with an incorrect assumption of the use case. Given an iPad is typically used as a consumption device, I assumed watching video content would be the main use case—which honestly in my anecdotal experience I've not heard anyone using mega for in ages, but even so perhaps that's just the people I talk to and I've just been oblivious though.
No worries, I was curious if there’s some functionality I’m unaware of. I use it sporadically if I need to share some stuff with internet people and I don’t want to link them towards my Google Drive / iCloud / etc.
