“These services often expose users to malware, scams, and data theft, with no recourse when things go wrong. The safest, smartest and only choice is to stick to legitimate providers for your entertainment.”

When the "legitimate providers" also expose users to malware (though poor security on their cheap devices), scams (through adverts), data theft (through all their monitoring spyware), and no recourse when things go wrong ("just buy a new one") then it's no surprise people turn to dodgy providers!
