Can anyone explain on technical terms what Real Debrid is? I tried Googling and all I get are layman explanations like "provides access to premium hosts" which doesn't make any sense. Also what a terrible name it is. Why Real? Is there an original Debrid? And I can't not associate the word with debridement (don't google if you can't handle gore) |

That explanation kinda linked together concepts I'd previously read about "debrid" services.
My summary of what they do (from further down the thread) was: Aggregator of premium access to a selection of file hosting sites, plus caching of content that's popular amongst their Customers.
I'm not sure of the applications of their service outside of streaming (copyrighted material), so I'd be a little bit wary of their potential for longevity of service. Never bet on centralised piracy.
aspenmayer also had somewhat of an explanation downthread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42293386
