I went to their website just to have a laugh. This is some real shizo propaganda.
You could replace all of it with: Only watch self sourced pirated media! Paying and relying on any service has inherent risks
320/1000 people know someone unlucky enough to fall for a scam.
If you pay for your pirated content you are doing it wrong.
My kids get a tablet exclusively pointing to a private media server in order to obtain the parental controls for-profit services just don’t provide. I banned YouTube kids, it was a shitfest.
I don't think I am, it's Usenet and a VPN, and costs less than my Spotify Family account.
But this is paying for a service that's used to obtain content, not directly for the content
And you can pay with crypto, not providing any personal information at all
Aside: I am surprised to see people (on the fediverse of all things) hating on cryptocurrency. Where did this sudden turn of perception come from?
Oh that is so odd. I'm not from the US but I think cryptocurrencies are somehow associated with right wing there and the left wing hates on them because of this?
It's so odd seeing people self-describing as oppressed minorities hating on technology that lets you bypass that oppression.
So, as always, politicians are at fault
