You can go to Walmart and buy a streaming box that is a Raspberry pi-sized board with custom Android installed and the package claims it has 700+ channels. But it just is an overlay for pirate streaming sites.

Or you buy a non-scammy Onn stick for $20-$30 from Walmart instead, install a launcher like Projectivy/ATV Launcher Pro from Play Store (or Aurora/F-Droid), and either choose your streaming app subscriptions ... or remove them all and install Stremio/Kodi/Plex/Jellyfin etc for your own preferred "alternative" streaming sources via Usenet/Debrid/Torrents/etc.

Not "just". You left out its role as a bot network exit node.
It is also a gateway for "residential proxy networks", AKA botnets for rent.
Which is a decent trade off for unlimited content.
Until authorities show up asking questions about the activity on your IP address.
"I'm willing to make everyone else's life worse for minor personal convenience"
That's the spirit of the age here in America, no? When so many of our leading public figures are hyper-wealthy individuals who are where they're via various sorts of shuffling costs onto others and pocketing profits, is it any surprise when the public seeks to do the same?
It's ultimately utterly destructive, of course. Wish I had a good solution.
Ah, the choice content providers made a few years back that put us all in this situation to begin with - throw constant ads at us for marginal revenue.
Uh it's a complete false dichotomy. There is literally no reason you need to participate in a botnet to stream content for free.
This is like saying the included porn malware you got bundled with uTorrent from the first sponsored link on Google is a price worth paying to access The Piratebay, lol.
Why earth would anyone voluntarily advocate for that/defend the malware authors instead of just downloading qBitorrent from Github?!

Now you're making it sound even more interesting. What is the name of this device?
“Superbox” I believe.
just use something that you can run a torrent client (and use tpb.party with adblocker). Those apps are malware and botnets.
