Bummer, I renewed my subscription for 6 months just two days ago.
I guess this'll finally be an excuse for me to setup Jellyfin and the arr-stack. I really don't mind too much (honestly I'd be fine just downloading torrents manually for whatever I want to watch) but my roommates really appreciated how easy to use Stremio is.
Me too, last Friday
You should probably try to get your money back via chargeback. This service is basically useless at this point, so might as well get money back better spent on something else if you still can. Worst they do is ban you from the service, a service they have already made not worth it anymore.

Eh, I won't die over 20$, it's due to something out of their control that anyone could have seen coming, and I've been quite the satisfied customer since I've been using Real-Debrid. I wouldn't judge anyone for doing a chargeback, but I personally don't really feel the urge to do so.
That is true, $20 isn't much in this day and age. It's not something you're going to die over or be in trouble without. I would still do it mainly out of principle since I'd rather not help them along with one more payment like that. Of course I haven't ever signed up for them, and I obviously never intend to now.
Don't you have to pay for arr services?
A VPN is the only bit you'd pay for, alongside the inevitable mass of HDDs to store everything on once you get addicted to just keeping everything forever in your own personal Netflix.
Fuckin hell don't I know it. Going on 2 HDDs and 1 SSD
They're not services per se, but are a stack of software that you can kinda "clump" together for the lack of a better word.
For instance I started using qbittorrent client recently instead of Transmission that I was using before as my torrent client because I can't find a way for Transmission to not download malware, and you can also do the very same with the indexer clients such as Jackett or Prowlarr which then talk to other software such as Radarr/Sonarr via API keys and is usually where most get caught out.
Read the docs, get thoroughly confused, and probably do it in docker too as everyone says if your hardware is sufficient.
No, they directly download the files via torrents on your pc
