    The fact that piracy websites are more straight forward and more user-friendly… Tells a lot about the shit services out there.

    Turns out lack of regulation is a double-edged sword.

    On the one hand, the quality of pirate sites varies wildly - with some being virus infested hellholes.

    On the other hand, there’s no legal bullshit to get in the way of them providing their service. Their competition can’t easily just cut them off from content.

    And because they’re operating privately rather than publically, they’re incentivised to operate sustainably rather than chase quarterly profits - which oftentimes benefits their “customers”
