Currently subscribe to a couple of Plex shares after getting tired of running my own server. This works well for the most part but I'm at the mercy of their infrastructure if anything stops working.

I subscribe to 2 providers for redundancy purposes as they have downtime a lot so it's more costly than I'd like but still cheaper than running my own and way less time consuming. Not convinced it's the best or most modern way to pirate / stream.

I've read about real-debrid and stremio or other apps. Sounds like torrents and having to wade through low quality releases?

What do you seasoned scurvy dogs use?

I've setup Stremio with Real Debrid and the Torrentio Addon for a lot of people and it all just works. SmartTube for YouTube replacement is also a goto.

I usually use a Chromecast but any Android TV will work. For a lot more work than it's worth but I still do it is remapping the Chromecast remote buttons to open SmartTube when hitting the YouTube button and Stremio when hitting Netflix.
