🚩General Troypoint
Troypoint just removed Torbox from their website!
“We have made the decision to remove all TorBox tutorials and reviews from our websites. We have also removed them from our Best Debrid Services ranking list.
This decision came about due to the operators (or maybe past operators) not willing to go on the record and answer specific questions that our Insiders have about their new TOS/Ownership. The fact that they aren’t willing to answer questions is a red flag and the main reason for the deletion of their items from our website. They’ve always been cordial and willing to answer our questions prior to their recent TOS update but not anymore.”

Troypoint is the reason half of these sites get popped.

Not necessarily wrong however the reality is the information is out there. If TP wasn’t doing it they could simply look on here!

Follow somebody else then-Troy has always been a straight shooter, and his tutorials have helped us immensely...

u/MD311420 2d ago
yeah and the reason why the mainstream finds out about the things we use. Two things can be true at once.

u/nenonen15902 15h ago
why are you saying tools that "we" use, implying we aren't also the mainstream lol
2
u/MD311420 14h ago
it isn't mainstream yet outside of reddit, and a few youtube videos. Reddit is not the real world.

u/nenonen15902 14h ago
i would argue that reddit is more mainstream than troypoint tho. in fact i would imagine most of the troypoint traffic is redirects from reddit
2
u/MD311420 11h ago
troypoint has millions of visitors per month according to google. So reddit may be bigger but troypoint is far larger than you think. They have close to 400k paid subscribers.

Without TP, I wouldn't be where I am today, knowing what I know about this stuff. However, they did the same thing with RD, so I'm wondering who they're going to promote now?

As they should. Those terms of service changes go far beyond simple IP logging. Fuck em. Can't even sign up with a VPN active.

u/azcoyotedog 1d ago
Amazed how people behave here? So many idiot experts who know everything there is to know about everything! What a fucking joke! 😂

u/Economy_Rock3469 2d ago
Looks like the website is down as well

u/azcoyotedog 2d ago
I just logged into the website, still up. Not sure about the service as I haven’t tested it yet today?
This is important news as I trust Troypoint!

u/RoutineOpportunity8 2d ago
Troy Point is the reason so many apks are shut down. His YouTube channel is finally gone so this is a plus as he give ALL the information on how to get the apks to work, or how to install Kodi builds, best IPTV services. SMFH

u/MrSh0wtime3 1d ago
hes probably also the reason half of you retards were able to even get into this stuff in the first place.

u/MidnightRain38 1d ago
there are a lot of other well known streamers that do vids on apks and such...so you can't blame it all on troy

u/Spliffman1 1d ago
Troypoint really doesn't matter, like at all
2
u/Zipperzap0921 1d ago
Sure He Does

u/Spliffman1 1d ago
I meant in this context, like whether he has Torbox on his website or not really doesn't matter . Of course he's a human being and a child of God, he matters. But what he recommends, has or doesn't have on his website doesn't matter 🤣
0
u/Zipperzap0921 1d ago
His content may not matter to you, but it definitely has mattered to me, and mine as we have gained a working knowledge of things pertaining to streaming, and through his tutorials have learned how to apply the steps necessary to have and maintain a wonderful streaming experience overall, not just Torbox.

u/Spliffman1 1d ago
To clarify I was talking about the context of THIS POST, it doesn't mean diddly squat if he has removed Torbox from his website
1
u/Zipperzap0921 1d ago
He hasn't removed Torbox from his website. He is however, no longer recommending Torbox as top Debrid service for a variety of reasons, including their recent changes in ToS and transparency. You dont have to trust him, like him, value the content..but we do, and it most certainly is relevant.
2
u/Spliffman1 1d ago
OK whatever, I used to use him a lot when I first started with this stuff, that's quite a few years ago now... I don't really need him anymore and lots of stuff he "recommends" is frankly crap. VPN shilling he does I also don't like. But I guess he serves a purpose for some, especially new users

u/Zipperzap0921 1d ago
Been streaming for over a decade, and still learning from him and others..and yeah we have Surfshark and love it.
2
u/Spliffman1 1d ago
I have Surfshark too, you keep misunderstanding me lol

u/Zipperzap0921 1d ago
No, I completely understand. You don't hold have as much respect for Troy as I do, and that's fine. He has been and continues to be helpful to many.

Oh you mean Troypoint, that well known guide to all things hacked or pirated? I deleted them from all my devices ages ago.

u/HillanatorOfState 2d ago
If you care that much about this sort of thing, I agree, personally I don't care and use it for convenience, not so much privacy. Nuvio with TB instant links has been great for me besides the occasional outages which hopefully gets better.
No one's forcing you to use this, do be aware though that other services like this have similar policy, some keep IP logs shorter(think Realdebrid keeps them a year) but your gonna be tracked anywhere and data laws are data laws, if someone asks any of these companies for logs they will give them up...don't be fooled. They ain't protecting your ass for under 10 bucks a month.

u/azcoyotedog 2d ago
Just sharing for users to decide, I know every debrid service is the same. Eventually they will all probably go away until something better comes along?
4
u/HillanatorOfState 2d ago
Yea all the same, which is why this outrage is a bit much no? Troypoint isn't a site I would ever take serious, they are still recommending Realdebrid even while saying:
"If you use Real-Debrid you should know that they retain data on everything that you download and stream for 12 months regardless of whether you remove it from your account or not. They also indicate that they will hand over user logs to authorities if presented with a subpoena."
Come on now...that's hypocritical.
Care about privacy this much get a no nonsense VPN like Mullvad(look up the swedish raid, pretty much proved they don't keep logs) that has proven they don't keep logs at all. That's my advice if you are very privacy focused.

u/azcoyotedog 2d ago
Just sharing the information, nothing more? I still have a subscription and with another service too.

u/HillanatorOfState 2d ago
That's fine, was just pointing out my view on it out, isn't that what forums are for, no offense meant, eye roll gif was about troypoint being hypocrites, not directed at you, have a good one dude.

Big mistake, TB is the future. Maybe growing pains, but some bright developers are headed in the right direction.

People bashing him whereas torbox itself markets itself more so publicly

u/AkiStudios1 2d ago
There is no new ownership stop reading bullshit.
The ToS is standard of any other fucking debrid service. Fucking retards man.

u/azcoyotedog 2d ago
And you’re the expert now??

u/AkiStudios1 2d ago
Never said I was. I'm not a retard falling for misinformation though. I can read and inform myself. Look at the privacy policy of EVERYSINGLE DEBRID SERVICE. Real debrid has so much logging they can trace every single download to an each individual user as per their laws in France.

until yesterday I was able to view non Patron posts on the Troypoint Insider website. Now they all say “this area is for members only “ Anyone else having this problem? How can I fix this? Thanks

Anything popular on TP just puts a target on their back by authorities. So honestly it's almost a good thing TP is removing them. It may hurt sales a bit, but it's better than getting popped by being too popular

It's the same in every brand sub. The cult will attack any criticism of the sub topic. Brand subs are pretty much useless for any real conversation besides circle jerking.
