I wanna mention this: If there are niche movies/shows you wanna watch but you can't find a torrent for it... the the only way to really watch it is the mainstream sites and those require DRM and if you run Linux, Netflix, for example, would run on L3 Widewine instead of L1 Widewine and that means SD content only...
so yeah... depends on how this "average user" really want to watch niche content... or is even comfortable with the idea of torrents
(I've personally found a bunch of stuff that I literally cannot find torrents for... so yeah... there's that...)
I don't think I've ever come across niche content that was available on a mainstream streaming site but not as torrent or on a direct streaming site.
Schitt's Creek got removed from debrid for copyright violation so I've been watching it on Amazon 🤮
