Don’t know if this is what he was doing, but I know in LatAm people pay for some sketchy “lists”, that they then put into some streaming software and then are able to watch movies, series and sometimes even live sports

Have no idea if it’s the same thing that this guy was doing, but pretty sure all of that content from those lists is pirated

The lists are pretty cheap, maybe 10USD for 30day access, so people prefer to pay for those than for cable
