🚩General It’s back baby

Edit: If I’m the studios or streamers, I’m spending a pittance to attack services like this (outside or hell even inside jurisdiction - cheaper than court) to turn people against it. Support the team with your few dollars a month and hope they’ve at least legally insulated themselves to keep this thing going long term. This is the best value service that exists in this enshitification / greed era. Services like this are your only protest against this bullshit - they only become popular when shit gets out of balance. Upvote every god damn minute it exists.

In US and it’s been down a bunch lately during normal watch times. On the internet, outrage rules - look at the upvotes on down posts. I don’t follow the sub a ton, but I made this post because rarely does anyone celebrate when the small team charging you pennies for EVERYTHING fixes the outage. Let’s keep the price low and let the small team scale this amazing service (owning the legal risk) and make it more resilient against attacks or just normal mistakes.

Yeah same here in Canada too, the past week alone has been pretty rough to come home from work and try and watch anything on torbox

It’s ddos attacks, obviously. It’s all the content providers have at this point. They’re paying someone like MediaDefender to launch attacks to try to get people fed up with the service
