For the Homies who don't like torrents and wants Google Drive!
Added 2021-07-15 04:29:28 +0000 UTCHi homies, since some of you don't like torrents and preffer Google Drive there is a solution.
The problem with Google Drive is they have a hidden daily traffic limit and when it is reached everything inside gets blocked for 24h. I know this because we reached that point when we were reacting to the last season of Game of Thrones and we had to move to Vimeo.
Since Vimeo is not viable option anymore and most of the homies here said they have no problem with torrenting I think Google Drive can work.
In order Google Drive to work only you who really don't like torrents should use it and it will be fine I think. If all of you start using it I am afraid it will start getting blocked every day and it will not work.
So I was thinking for 2 options. (Currently we have 700GB and still uploading of reactions)
1. Put the Google Drive links for each movie on the same tier you are already in and see if it will work or:
2. Make a new tier like $15 or so (Suggest me a price which you think is appropriate in the comments) . This will mean only some people will go there so the traffic should be low and the videos wont get blocked everyday.
Some suggested DropBox Mega etc. They have traffic limits as well which are worse than Google Drive.

Its worth 15 for me.

2021-07-15 08:04:35 +0000 UTCGoogle Drive downloads faster than a torrent and does not require seeders, so at first everyone will go to download from Google Drive, and those who are late will then be left with a torrent. Therefore, to access Google Drive, I think a new level is needed, maybe 12 dollars?

2021-07-15 07:26:01 +0000 UTCI know you guys are set on GDrive but check out https://mega.nz/pro. It's used heavily in the pirating scene. Free users can download I believe 5GB a day for free. On your side they have a max plan of $35 a month for 16TB of transfer.
