I know it's probably because there's money to be made.

I just wish there was a good place to discuss IPTV providers that wasn't full of sketchy resellers over promising and under delivering. You'd think they could at least sort out their EPGs as most I have used are like 80% complete at best.

Not asking for provider recommendations, not sure if that's allowed here. Just wondering if y'all know of a place where that shit can be discussed in a neutral and honest environment?

I think you are right on the money (heh pun).

It's one type of pirate to hoard and spread about the booty, but it takes a special form of hypocrisy to turn around and charge for hard money.

As to communities, I can't help too much there but instead offer that there actually do exist groups that effectively have created swarms that are like a private tracker but for live/on demand viewing. Think an invite group of dozens of jellyfin servers. It might be safer to work toward identifying and joining one of those, depending on your desire.

I get that the services themselves cost money and there are ties to organized crime (or so I've read).

Interested in these jellyfin swarms I'll have to do some research thanks!
