Tangentially related: the German news portal kino.de which is run by a "real" publisher and has news all around cinema, movies, streaming, has this article[1] about illegal streaming services where they try to suggest legal alternatives that cost little money and sometimes even have an ad-supported limited free tier. The bizarre thing is that they go through great lengths in their first paragraph to list over a dozen of those illegal streaming sites as examples. It's like, every time your favorite illegal streaming site is down, just go to kino.de to get a list of available alternatives.

What the?
