I await a replacement eagerly. I just canceled my Netflix since I haven't used it in months. I always wanted to test popcorntime out, but never found the time.

I keep my Netflix subscription even if I don't use it much because I'd rather download the movies and I still want to pay. It gives me more flexibility for how I can watch them...

I saw that on the site:

>is basically your beloved Popcorn Time stipped down of the parts that made people wary.

Which parts will be stripped out? The parts that make popcorntime functional?

Probably the parts that link into YTS.to. Basically all of the content. Hopefully they can come up with a standard API that YTS.to replacements can use enabling users to modify Butter to work like PopcornTime did.

They should fear it. Everything you wanted with no ads for free....

Who is 'they'? What do we want? What was stripped out? Who was made wary?

Alas, dead too…
