I have spent some time recently browsing through the various streaming options listed in the piracy and FMHY megathreads and I am curious which one people prefer.

movie-web for example works great but when you click on a title it goes right to playing where as Braflix pulls up a summary, trailer, and list of actors. Braflix also categories based on the streaming service like Apple+ and Amazon which can be good for content discovery.

Unfortunately you can't click on the streaming service categories to view more and it doesn't list a lot of other somewhat popular streaming services like Shudder. Braflix also doesn't say what whether or not something is a cam rip unlike some sites like himovies.

Some websites also handle sorting better than others or have server problems.

I don't know if people really care or if they just click on the first link they see/use what they've already been using for years.

Content discovery for me is probably the most important factor. I like being able to sort by the IMDb rating and having a section that says "If you like X you might like Y" is also nice.

I like the stremio app with the torrentio extension, it's really easy to use, and with your stremio account you can keep track of the movies and series you watch

the issue is that without a debrid provider, which you have to pay for, many series and movies aren't seeded, so more obscure media is less likely to work

+1 for Stremio and Torrentio, this is all I use

The obscure content thing is an issue I've run into especially looking for ~70s era sci-fi or horror movies that are regarded as cult classics or underrated online.
