But why should anyone have to break the law to watch the Mets?

I think the reddit streams pages (RIP /r/nbastreams, /r/soccerstreams, etc) were the peak of stream accessibility and quality for me. I have some go-to sites now, but those subreddits were so convenient and easy.

Agreed, those subs were easily the best.

A lot have moved into Discord, which makes these things even more difficult. In general discord servers are insular little clubs. They tend to have strange unique rules and require you to jump through so many hoops to get initiated.

The Discord format is like plugging into a stream of consciousness, so doesn’t exactly lend itself to info-seeking like the forum format does.

I fucking hate discord. I know they also created a NBA discord once the reddit crackdown happened ads and at the beginning you’d get stream links in the chat, but now even that is banned, so usually I hurt Google stream, but it’s a crapshoot

I like Discord, so long as it’s only a limited number of smaller communities. Large Discord servers are nightmares

No, I got rid of my discord so don’t have any. But you’d have to find new links anyway. The invites all expire after a while. Another reason why discord sucks.

I used to stream Blue Jays games and random events when these were alive. I wouldn’t know where to host streams nowadays.

/r/soccerstreams was the best of times. I mostly watch Dutch football which has way fewer streams than the big European leagues. Since /r/soccerstreams closed I haven’t been able to find streams nearly as easily.

I’ve been using sportshub for a few months now, it seems decent so far.

For a couple seasons, there was a private subreddit where they had extracted the official streams of every NFL game, and you could just open it in a web browser and watch in full quality for free with no ads other than what was in the actual broadcast. And for a while, there was a promotion in a few European countries for free NFL Sunday Ticket access, and if you started the stream over a VPN connection into one of those countries, you could turn the VPN off and it’d continue working. Then some online magazine published the trick and it stopped working the next week.

I’ve a friend who knows all the resources to watch soccer where I live (Europe), but all the sites you talk about here are blocked by my gov (for sports).
