Why is the IPTV scene such a toxic shit hole? (lemy.lol)

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 don't think I'll ever sub to IPTV because of the community around it. I miss the days of setting up your own satellite dish and downloading the decryption keys.

Honestly if it weren't for sports and Jeopardy I wouldn't bother. I wish more leagues went the way if F1 with their decent price and amazing app.

Isn't IPTV shit for sports or really anything popular? I've read there's a tonne of buffering and quality problems... I dont watch sports but I have family and friends looking for a solution and ask me because they're on my Plex server.

Personally the *arr stack is perfect for what I do. When I want to watch something I'll scroll through the recently added and pick something.
