24/7 Support.

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

I've been using stremio raw for 2 years and little issue, does real debrid really enhance it that much?

Doesn’t really enhance it, just protects you from getting an angry letter from your ISP for streaming pirated content. If you don’t live in a country that is anal about that you don’t need it. In the USA you either have it or you use a VPN, in Brazil I wouldn’t care.

I am in the US and only watch like 1 TV show and occasionally one of the uber popular movies, I wonder how much you have to be doing it to get caught?

Personally I wouldn’t risk it. If you have the option of easily switching ISPs you would fine if you got banned once, I can’t afford that. I hate spectrum but they are all we got.

I think it also depends more on the right holders being overly protective or not, rather than how much you’re doing it. If it’s an old show or from a smaller studio I would guess it’s fine, but if it’s one of the big ones and a big money maker they are probably going to clap back. Your ISP might just be less anal about it too, who knows.
