Does anybody have the impression that Stremio may be a honeypot of some sort?
Thay are allegedly a legal service where some nefarious actors provide torrenting plugins etc. I tried to find out how they were financed, and found northing but a site purportedly selling “Web3” advertising, and filled with technobabble nonsense. No address, no way to purchase their services no GDPR notice or anything…
All I can find regarding their safety are “It’s legit, nothing has happened to me so far” comments in reddit and other boards.
They have your email, they host the service, they can track all you do…
Seems kind of fishy.
Ive tried it, ironically, to watch stuff that I pay for, I have Netflix, prime video, Disney… But Stremio gives me much higher resolutions.
Even though I live in a country where sailing the high seas is not persecuted, as long as you are the end-user and you derive no profit, I’m going to delete my account (made with an email address I have for bullshit stuff ), make a new one with a truly disposable email and get a VPN.

We’re talking about P2P networks bro, not land management. Pouncing on the term like a bot would, simply to post that link, is just sloppy.
Maybe using the term was sloppy also?
