There's so many providers and sketchy ppl you can pay for access to IPTV and there's even plenty of free playlists that provide tons of content. Who's actually providing these services and how does it work that theres so many middlemen/resellers?

Thanks this makes sense. Sounds sketchy as fuck so I'll just be sticking with torrents lol.

It's one of those things where paying in advance is not a good idea because of how sketch it can be. And you should not use identifiable information when creating an account or paying. E.g. a good provider only accepts crypto.

The only wholesaler I'm currently aware of has been operating for 5+ years the length I've been aware of their existence. So there's definitely trustworthy providers out there. I have no idea how to research good providers since IPTV talk gets shut down every where.

Most crypto transactions are trivially identifiable these days. Most blockchain are an unencrypted public leger and most crypto retailers like coinbase require government ID.
