One reason is that if you ever have an issue with RealDebrid, you can expect them to post your name and email publicly online while talking a boat load of shit about you.
Why would you sign up for a piracy service with your government name and email address? RealDebrid thinks my name is Bizzle McLastname and my email address is xxweedfiendxx420@gmail.com
Still, bad business like that is definitely a compelling reason to switch regardless
Those are dependent on the relevant torrent being available and seeded
Jellyfin/Plex and Radarr/Sonarr + Usenet, you’ll have said file once downloaded for as long as you want, but requires considerably more storage space and torrents suck for older, more obscure stuff. Usenet doesn’t depend on seeders, and the big boys have something like 15+ years retention and you’ll always download them at full speed (no tons of seeders but slow upload speeds to worry about either)
I use Stremio/Torrentio/RealDebrid, is there any practical reason to switch?

So it’s a matter of personal preference
Can the storage be regular ol slow ass HDDs? That sounds pretty sweet honestly
Yea absolutely, people have ran it off Raspberry Pis and external USB drives lol
