Free M3U links are public. When 10,000 people try to watch the Super Bowl through one tiny server hosted in a basement in Bulgaria, the stream will lag, buffer, or crash completely. For live sports, reliability is everything. A free link is not reliable.
If you want, paste the Reddit link here and I’ll extract and validate the raw M3U content (I’ll only process plain text or direct file links). m3u iptv sports playlist reddit link
