It just hit me
I know what I gotta do (also)
I gotta make piracy easy for normies and zoomers. If I can make piracy as easy as streaming, I can hurt Netflix.

It already is that easy.
Always was.
@LukeAlmighty
Not for iPhone zoomers.
I need to be able to get people from "heard about it" to "watching something" faster than it takes to install an app and provide payment details.
And I think WebTorrent is the answer.
@LukeAlmighty
So until sideloading is a thing on iPhone outside the eurozone, it's gotta run in a browser, it's gotta feel like a native app, and it needs to be able to use a small set of domains on equipment that's unfriendly to IP law and that can be redeployed quickly in the event of a takedown.
@r000t
Sure... You mean like Manga apps are already doing?
@LukeAlmighty
Being free will swing a lot of people especially if their finances are hurting, but providing a better UX will have a few people saying "Why are you *paying* for worse service?!"
Did you know that you can't play 4K Netflix content on most devices, even if you paid full boat for the 4K subscription?
It's not a performance problem. It's a DRM problem. WebTorrent will play 4K anywhere.

No logins, no payment details. You go to whatever fly by night domain I manage to grab and there's all your shit. Local storage for preferences
