I was just just interested in how your "say no" lesson came from the streaming site. I am sure they asked you for all sorts of channels, but from their perspective, I kind of understand it. I had really wondered what kind of crazy of stuff you were shooting down. I didn't expect anyone to go too crazy on expecting feature requests on a pirate site.

The typical ones were things like MMA/UFC/boxing, and those I'd say no to because their business model revolves around PPV; things like NCAA sports I said no to because I refused to profit off children (NIL didn't exist at the time) and that the implementation would have required me to "integrate" more than 5 different services just to attempt parity; I'd get the occasional EPL or UEFA requests, too.

I really didn't have any significant demand for these. One of my litmus tests, besides demand, was "okay, can this be as good as the other sports' implementations?" I was always concerned about feature parity—I could have provided radio feeds for MLB but not for NBA, and that would cause people to say "well they have radio feeds for x but not y" and create confusion as to what is what. Being consistent in this regard was important.

The run-of-the-mill IPTV requests came and went, and I just wasn't interested in that. Ultimately I made the site for me so I could watch sports, I just had some other people watching with me.
