If I wanted to drop my Netflix, Prime, and Disney+ and still have lots of options for stuff to watch, what would you guys suggest. Please explain like I have the IQ of a half eaten apple that's been sitting out in the sun for a week, I can barely figure out Lemmy having come over from Reddit.
This combo almost seems to good to be true. Keep in mind it is not completely free.
It is completely free though. You only pay if you want to add RealDebrid, and that's completely optional.

Based off my 3 days of research into the topic, yes it is free but you're at the mercy of seeders and active torrents. Isp's also may not like you using the service as it's torrenting and your usage of the service is very visible.
The paid aspect of it comes from this service called Real Debrid which basically is a middle man that downloads all the stuff for you (or 99% of the time already has it downloaded) and then will send it to you via an encrypted connection at whatever max speed your internet is. It allows for smooth, 4K HDR, no buffering streams just like you'd get from Netflix and only costs 33$ a year. Real Debrid can also be used to download any torrent in existence at max speeds.
Changed my life. Literally a 4 click setup, never done anything easier. Just search for "Stremio, Torrentio and Real Debrid guide"

Totally fair, as far as I know the only country where you can get in trouble for pirating is the US.
If your country is anything like mine then you're perfectly fine not using a caching or middleman service. 🙏🏻
True, I gotta stop thinking everyone is in the same situation/country as me. Debrid is crucial for me if I want to continue pirating with my current provider.
Kodi + Real-Debrid. Or like top comment says you could also use Stremio + Real-Debrid. I recommend using a Trakt account too to keep track of everything you watch/episode progress. Real-Debrid costs about $3 a month but has just about every torrent cached to their servers (it’s never needed to buffer for me), and if they are missing one you can cache it yourself. Setting up kodi/stremio with RD is definitely worth a Google!
You can checkout the community's wiki for tips on getting started.
in that IQ range I would suggest Amazon Streaming.
But you made it here so qbittorrent + jellyfin server is probably bare minimum
