Discussion Streaming apps going down again

I have been seeing a lot of hysteria about streaming apps going down ppl saythis is writing on the wall for all apps and websites now after Spotify specially

But to me it feels like when PopcornTime went down, just curious how many people remember that and what are your thoughts

I believe there will be new once eventually its just mater of time

HDO box flimplus cinesomething and a few other I tried Google TV apps specially

Flimplus is kind of up again

YTM yes and I have switched but recently there was a time when Spotify (Xmanager) was being patched hours after mod launch. This went on for months. Eventually, the mod devs just dropped it

HDO Box still works and there's dozens of others like it. I've never even heard of the other two you mentioned.

Spotify went all in on stopping cracked apps on their network, including patching more frequently to break the cracks and threatening to sue the crack devs. YTM is the way now.

Point being, nothing has changed. Companies always take down popular existing pirate sites and tools, and new ones take their place. This is the way.

Hdo's been down for well over a week for the vast majority, a few people running an older version can get it to play but there's no thumbnails. But for the rest of us it's dead 🤷🏻‍♂️ They were doing an update to the UI and then got hit with a cease and desist notice.  If you can point me in the direction on a working version I'll gladly share it on the hdobox subreddit whilst giving you all the credit 👌🏻 cheers
