Using a debrid service like real debrid is pretty much paying a small fee for access to somebody else’s server that downloads everything from torrent trackers. So even if nobody is seeding, if it shows up on the service it will stream
Also if you still want to locally download media and stream it but Plex is missing the mark, you should try Jellyfin. It’s a similar service but open source and well maintained
I do that with things I find myself rewatching often, like more than once a year. For other shows I might not watch again, I don’t bother with using the disk space for them. I’ve looked into plex, but I’m too lazy to run a server myself.
yeah I usually delete TV shows after watching, that shit takes up way too much space. movies I keep anything I like and might conceivably watch again, especially if it’s more obscure
maybe I’m old school but I’ll just torrent manually and then stream it, I figure a lot of movies won’t have fast enough seeders to stream in realtime
I use Plex which has become kinda shitty though so I might have to look into stremio

jellyfin is an alternative
