The sad thing about Popcorn Time is the way it shows how little people actually care about AV quality. One of the biggest reasons why I personally resort to illegal options (especially with video material) is because of the higher quality they offer compared to legal alternatives, but this aspect is not present in Popcorn Time at all since it sources all the video and audio from YIFY.

Sadly, since their fork is likely going to be considered the "main" one for Popcorn Time, decent AV quality will probably never be a thing with it.
