Thank you. I was worried that I was shouting at brick walls for a moment.
I also use Stremio with Real-Debrid. The girlfriend knows nothing about piracy, but Stremio is so easy and convenient that my mother could use it. She uses it almost daily to watch anime that she can't find on Crunchyroll.
People are suspicious cause it does sound too good to be true; I get it. Being able to stream any 4K HDR video you want without buffering seems unbelievable. It's a little frustrating cause I always seem to get downvoted by a bunch of skeptics every time I bring up Debrid. Maybe cause I come on too hard and sound like an advertisement, but I can't help but be fanatical about it. It's just so much better than any other method for obtaining free content!
I think people are also reluctant to pay for piracy.
Absolutely understandable, this was my hold up for a long time. I believe it really depends on your setup, what I had before wasn't working as well as I wanted to and this was my solution. Unfortunately, I don't have the means for local storage, so this was the next best thing for me.
I'm just in the mindset of the fact that I went from $40 a month paying for my streaming services to $40 a year for this plus my VPN.
