This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I personally don't have too much of an issue for paying for piracy. It's money I would pay to Netflix if their catalog was decent.

Servers cost money.

If anything, these assholes streaming companies should see people paying for pirated content and say, "We should do better" instead of "ThEy ArE sTeAlInG oUr CoNtEnT!"

Edit: I looked up Real Debrid. Their website is sketchy. What exactly is it?

My understanding is that it's torrent and direct download caching on a massive scale, by file hash or something like that.

They cache torrents, magnets and ddl links at an astonishing scale.

You can put in pretty much any even decently popular magnet or ddl link set and get a direct download link with near infinite bandwidth (my 500Mbit connection is saturated every time)
