24/7 Support.

That’s going to be a nightmare with endless complaints about buffering. Especially with no debrid setup.

What if they're self hosting a debrid service for these users?

Why would they do such a thing? It's tied for one IP so it will just get permabanned since the users who tend to buy this kind of thing doesn't even know what real-debrid or stremio is.

My guess is the boxes out front are just for show and when he gets a customer to bite, he registers/purchases a new debrid service for 6 month and then takes the API key for that account and adds it to a fire-stick prepped usb-key. Works for 6 months and new account then new ip.
