Does this really bother folks that much? I’ve never cared much about this kind of leeching as long as it isn’t dominating my personal bandwidth. And it never has so far, though I have to admit my 4ish tb of movies isn’t exactly high demand stuff, so I don’t usually have more than one or two at a time being leeched.
Hell, I don’t really care much about leeches anyway, as long as the overall ability to find things is still there. I look at it as the price of the freedom of torrents. There’s always going to be higher demand for data than there are people with the resources/time/willingness to seed heavily. I’m okay with that because I don’t really want to have to keep and seed every fucking thing out there, it would take much more storage than I can afford to be able to keep a ratio on most private trackers since I tend not to keep shit I don’t intend to watch at least once a year unless it’s something pretty damn obscure.
It does dominate my personal bandwidth. You’ll notice if one of your torrents is on their app. You’ll be uploading all day and it’ll fill half your peers list.
As someone that uses stremio quite a lot thats sad but understandable to hear.
I do try to make up for my leeching habbits by keeping every normal torrent seeding indefinitely.

I guess the low demand files I have keep me from running into it.
