Yeah I’d say you dodged a bullet there. I always thought the amount of praise they received was unnatural and suspicious and like they would potentially use people’s information against them since they are crooks after all. I’m glad to see I was right about that, and I don’t feel bad that I didn’t sign up for RealDebrid when everyone was hoping on the hype train for it.

Thanks I just did that right now. It’s so nice having the Ad banners gone, and also a nice and well functioning dark mode too.

Hopefully they will get what they deserve, at the very least get their Trustpilot banned and lose any and all appearance of being a good and not shady business it gives them. Because they are a shady and not legitimate business, they don’t act like one, and their service doesn’t have any practical usage that isn’t related to piracy. Seriously the legal usage of Debrid services is so niche that if that were all you could do with them we probably wouldn’t have them at all.

The people on that subreddit are sad and pathetic shills, they kiss up to that company and attack anyone who criticizes them and deny the fact that it’s the end for them.

Then they complain that they can’t add their pirated content yet still insist that the service isn’t broken or that it’s still working fine.

That’s a good point, the people who start these kinds of services, especially in countries like France tend to be of the SovCit delusional variety, and they probably do indeed believe they are invincible or won’t get in real trouble for what they’re doing.

They should know that it’s not going to help them, especially them trying to accuse all people giving criticism of their service to be fake reviews and attempting to dox them. If anything that’ll hurt them and just end up getting their TrustPilot account banned.

I mean they should be aware that criminal charges stack up right? They’re not going to get anything good from making their own situation worse by doxxing customers (multiple comments on their profile giving out the email addresses of their customers). That isn’t going to help them and is just going to make it so much worse for them.

They would like people to believe that there is some worthwhile usage because they don’t want to get shut down or end up bankrupt if people stop paying for the service. Which despite the amount of people trying to convince others its still working, is dwindling and will dwindle even more once they remove most of the torrents and block most copyrighted media.

So their tactic is boasting about breaking mods and making idle threats to try and scare normies while doing what they’ve been doing, applying fixes and having new modded versions come out that work just fine?

They did this same thing saying they’d ban people for blocking ads a while back, also astroturfed to hell on Reddit trying to scare people. Ultimately nothing really came from it except a whole lot of fear mongering.

Many Steam games don’t have DRM either. Just no nice installers like with GOG. Ones which have Steam launch requirement can be launched without it via Steam Emulators or custom SteamAPI.dll

“But its in France” is a weak excuse at best. This is reminiscent of the BS 14 eyes marketing people try to use to convince users not to use Mullvad as a VPN.

Thank you, now we’re devolving into the territory of misrepresentation and an apples to oranges comparison. Let’s start with the bad comparison. A VPN is a very different beast than a Seedbox, as VPNs relay connections and don’t host content. Now of course where they are based does indeed matter but even in the case of Mullvad their main base of operations isn’t even based in France, it’s in Sweden, so this whole comparson is rubbish and if you’d had bothered to check you would have seen that. Moreover a seedbox or debrid service unlike a VPN is a hosting service, they download and cache torrents. So if they are based in a country currently waging war against hosting of copyrighted content, and services are receiving takedown requests they are very likely to be also hit. Which is why AllDebrid and Debrid-Link are being recommended against by OP and others (me included).

I’m not sure how you can keep believing what you are saying with every passing day proving you are wrong. How many more days before you admit your were full of shit?

Prove me wrong, prove that RealDebrid will last through this, not technically, I mean that it will remain useful for Pirated streaming and that they won’t start deleting cached data. If they don’t do it and these changes get walked back I will happily admit to being wrong. Otherwise you’re no different to any of the other dipshits from r/RealDebrid trying to encourage people to continue paying for a service about to become very useless in the weeks or months to come (or getting angry that people are requesting refunds or chargebacks).

How about just trying not to get caught in the hype for a few days and, wait for something to actually break for longer then a few hours? Instead of making outlandish claims based on one tweet probably written by lawyers.

Agreed, let’s wait and see. In the meantime I and OP are still not encouraging others to buy into a service like this which will likely just go out. Instead encouraging people to use different services that aren’t based and hosted in the country going to town on the current one over piracy. And if you don’t like it either suck it up or seethe and whine.

But hey let’s see who the real troll is, put your money where your mouth is and bet me. Shoot me a DM with terms, we can get a signed contract (I’m assuming your a payment risk) and I’ll be happy to take some money off you. It can pay for my RD sub.

I don’t answer you, or other disreputable people online who claim they are reputable and make bad-faith arguments. Your desire to try and challenge me for bets or dares does tell me all that I need to know, I will not respond to this conversation any more as it has long outlived any level of usefulness or constructiveness. Goodbye.

This list is inaccurate as I’ve already pointed out but stay on your high horse lol.

Telling people to switch services when the service they have actually works and then giving an inaccurate list of services to switch to, is not as helpful as you think it is.

Considering that you actually haven’t pointed out how this list is inaccurate in this comment thread. Just said that people should keep using the service and paying for it, and that it’s not going away (service itself isn’t but the content it is used for is, making it useless), despite the fact that it will almost certainly begin to become much less useful due to the nature of this event. If you’re talking about the inclusion of AllDebrid OP has explained that they are within the same Jurisdiction as RealDebrid, a jurisdiction known to have powerful copyright trolls, and we’re not in the bussiness of telling people to use and pay for services that are basically guaranteed to leave people in the same situation as this one.

Also pointing to a 4 day old tweet about what RD is going to do in the “coming hours” as “writing on the wall” , when the service still works is hilarious.

I think you being so hardcore in-denial of this crackdown despite the notice being from them officially is even more hilarious. What was done with addons that use RealDebrid is a workaround of API changes, if/when they delete/ban the infringing cached torrents this isn’t going to help.

I’m confident that you are a troll at this point. I don’t see how someone could look at their message and keep claiming RD is fine and “not going anywhere” in good faith.

They’re probably one of the people who were back on r/RealDebrid or r/Addons4Kodi who were blatantly in-denial that anything would ever happen to RealDebrid, and still are in denial about it. Despite the evidence being clear and straight from the horse’s mouth.

You know what, do as you wish, just like @Sunny@slrpnk.net already said. It’s your money and you’re free to waste it. However this list and advice is here to help people who desire not to waste their own money not end up wasting their own. Now they’ve already given an official annoucement on their Twitter that they are taking steps to limit or action illegal content. If you wish to not see the writing on the wall that’s up to you, but it does exist and it is happening.

I wasn’t promoting the other communities in this post as they are mostly abandoned. The goal with creating this one is to have a new one which is actively managed. Something that isn’t really the case in the others.

Yeah I agree, it’s the contrast and colors that really matter, hence why OLEDs are becoming more popular and content looks much better on OLEDs even if it’s just 1080p or even 720p

If you click the lemmyverse.link url in the post it should redirect to the one on your home instance or the local version on lemmy.dbzer0.com Also I wasn’t aware there were two others. I knew about the lemmy.ml one (hence why I also posted on !de_ml@lemmy.blahaj.zone but I didn’t know about the other ones on world or giftedmc.com (instance I never even heard of).

They removed some APIs and are blocking some torrents by name, other torrents may still work for now but don’t get too comfortable though. They will likely start removing the cached torrents with copyrighted content in the future.

Yeah, it will likely meet the same fate as RealDebrid in the future.

Why would someone pay for RD for that instead of just using the torrent there directly or the direct download from the servers? I don’t know it seems like overkill to use a debrid service for something like that.
