There’s so many providers and sketchy ppl you can pay for access to IPTV and there’s even plenty of free playlists that provide tons of content. Who’s actually providing these services and how does it work that theres so many middlemen/resellers?

    Isn’t the whole problem that, since nobody openly talks about providers, nobody knows who the originals are? Of course, everyone can claim to be the guy at the top, but who knows?

      The only people who need to know who the originating sources are are the wholesalers, and I’m pretty sure at that level they have a good sense of who is originating or not. Or maybe they also don’t care as long as it works and the price is right.

      At the individual level, you have to assume that your provider is not the originating source - that’s just how it works. Discovering whether or not you are using a reseller or a wholesaler though? It should be fairly easy to tell from the services and support they offer.
