I'm not a regular poster but i'm a very experienced user of Kodi since i've used it since the good old days on Xbox.
I'm ususally on this forum checking out posts, tips, skins and addons because that's what keeps Kodi interesting.
What's bothering me is the amount of people posting about illegal addons and why it doesn't come fully loaded with Movies and TV Shows. The number of these posts seems to have been increasing as well.
Is Kodi's homepage not clear enough or is the general perception of Kodi that it's for "pirate" use?
How do we get around this problem?!?
One of the issues I found is YouTube - this videochannel have become heaven for help regarding installing banned addons and builds that are complete with "everything".
I hope this topic can start some interesting views and hopefully a solution of making Kodi as it should be (clean).

I have been pondering this issue for quite a while as well.
I don't understand the thought process of a lot of these rule breaching posters.
They have no problems heading over to 'banned" site to download builds/repositories/addons, then straight over here for assistance installing or using said components!!!
For these people, there is no separation between Kodi and free goodies. But, that's what keeps this site interesting...

I don't see the problem here.
Kodi is clean.
If users come on posting about illegal addons then they are dealt with quickly.
As for Youtube, only it's owners can do anything about that.

What I don't understand is that people are watching those Youtube videos at all... I never had the patience to watch what those idiots record and wait until it gets to the point... I'll rather read when I have a problem (not speaking only about Kodi and addons but in general).... guess I'm kinda old school

... and if they watch these Youtube videos to get these garbage addons installed, why do they come here to complain when they have a problem instead of asking the Youtuber? Boggles the mind.

On /r/kodi too, people constantly complaining that this or that 'build' is not working or they can't find a specific movie on their addons. Mods there are great at killing those off, but even them other people will post links to YouTube tutorials for dodgy addons and builds when people ask a question that requires a few lines of text to answer, not a 30 minute video!
I honestly think the issue is these people have absolutely no idea, they really do believe that KODI is for illegal streaming and nothing else, so they don't understand why asking on the official forums gets them nowhere.

I suppose most people are goal oriented "I want to watch my footie" and then find the y-t vids offering a solution. I agree typical 30 min vid to tell you what a paragraph of text could, but I guess I'm too old. So they mindlessly follow the cookbook until things go wrong, then start searching and end up here. They have no idea what they downloaded, or where they got it, just know the letters k-o-d-i.
