Pirate streaming services
This is kind of a weird question, I understand, but why does every pirate streaming service seem exactly the same? Let me explain: I was looking through the r/Piracy megathread (via rentry.co) for alternatives to Soap2day, now that it's gone down, and I noticed most websites had almost identical interfaces, and seemingly identical search results. Does anyone know what's up with that...? It creeped me out a little, I won't lie. Sort of uncanny valley.
I also wanted to ask, what is the deal with Soap2day? I know soap2day.to is down. I've seen two websites thus far with the same name but different top-level domains, with totally different layouts and title blurbs. Are those like... legit? I don't know, I suppose it would be difficult to give me a virus via a streaming service (it's not like I go around clicking on ads) but, again, it's confusing and a little eerie.
EDIT: To be clear, I'm not looking for recommendations. I am also not looking for alternatives to anything, I can sort myself out. I'm asking, out of curiosity, if anyone knows why these websites look so similar, and what's going on with soap2day clones.
Go away from streaming sites and load your media locally. Governments can't block that. (Make sure to use a VPN and when torrenting, use qBittorrent and bind it to the Interface of your VPN)
I'll keep that in mind, but it is not an answer to either of my questions.
I get it, but it is the answer that you need if you don't want to be worried about sketchy websites.
Ultimately if you want to keep streaming content rather than downloading give it a look to the following apps:
Kodi and Stremio (with Torrentio) both widely available, don't forget to improve them with a Real Debrid account.
