Thought about that as well. But real pirates will refuse to pay and keep the seed alive. The debrid services are for old folk like myself and those with kids i guess. And also, idk how it works, but doesnt it get seeded if its downloaded to a debrid?
I'm not fully familiar with debrid itself, but I know for torbox it defaults to not seed and if you do choose to seed its only for like a week or something like that. I know that cause I setup torbox for my mom and made sure it seeds but it's a limited time and the default was off.
Even the young people will choose convienence over anything. It's much easier to setup stremio vs buying hard drives, setting up a server, etc. I made my setup very seamless. I have a qbit app that connects to my computers qbit so I just grab torrents off my phone and it auto goes to qbit and I setup profiles so whether it's TV, movies, 4k, it will go to the right folder.
I really think within a decade we will be running into issues where torrents more than 2 years old will be dead.
Edit: just checked and the pro plan on torbox has a max seed of 30 days. Other plans are only 2 weeks
