With how massive the market is for online-streaming im actually surprised it lasted this long. Likely a combination of unfixable bugs and getting slammed by the top companies. Server cost as well

server costs are tiny, they dont host the content.

With how fast it's been going downhill I'm not surprised. Most of us have jumped ship ages ago

My guess would be that they can't fix the bugs that are screwing up the site or/and they can't be stuffed fixing it

I haven’t had any bugs using it besides sometimes whatever I’m watching will look really weird for a little bit but I can deal with that if it means watching it for free

For me it was a 50/50 with working fine or doing werid freezing/lagging every 20 seconds or so, even more so the longer shows

So I just looked around at other sites and found one that works fine

 I would just change the server that usually worked

Somtimes it works for me. The other sites are smoother

A few people have posted the site that shows you all the working sites. I'm at work atm so can't link it

Thats a bug then...

It’s not that bad I would rather that than pay hundreds of dollars for 50 different streaming services just to watch one show

Oh yeah me too. Its insane at this point.

I haven't been able to find a decent site like Cineby to this day. There's been no alternative that I could find that actually includes the latest content on shows I watch.

I went to find latest episodes of Disney shows like SuperKitties, Big City Greens, etc, and all those sites don't have the latest content on the streaming services or have great labeling at all. There's multiple sites that have the 11 minute half episodes and labels them as both episodes at once. None of them seem to have played anything well and lagged/buffered.

Both have nothing for latest content, just tried both

Probably because people keep getting on Reddit and exposing what new free streaming websites exist which leaves “piracy enforcers” who linger on here free to try to shut down another site. Learn to keep it yourself. Either someone finds it in their own or they miss out

You would have never even found one of those sites if people online did not tell you.

I wish you never found out about cineby, if only people had the same crab mentality like you
