      Came here to say exactly this.

      I’d trust the piracy sites more actually. We don’t voluntarily give them our credit card and address.

        Useful services like Real Debrid need a credit card, but nothing a virtual card (from Privacy.com or similar) can’t solve. I think there’s other ways to pay too.

        Also, I’m pretty sure this ad is targeting IPTV services, which are almost all paid services. There’s a big IPTV crackdown underway in several European countries at the moment.

      You signed the agreement, now we get EVERYTHING! I recently enabled duckduckgo’s app tracking protection and it has been eye opening. In the past 7 days it’s blocked 4200+ tracking attempts.

        12,627 blocked attempts for me in the last 7 days. The worst offenders are MLB app, and Sync. At least I’m using Sync. I haven’t opened the MLB app in over a week, but it has still tried to report personal information about me up to 762 times per day.

    At the very least you’d think they’d get C:\> correct, but I guess whoever made that was probably on iOS or Linux.

    I wonder what the CLI for “They” does. Pretty odd that it takes 8 arguments, let alone starting with an uppercase letter.

    I mean, the companies that charge us are stealing our personal data too.

        Well, we pay for them the service, they just steal the data. Of course it’s not legally stealing, because they told you they’re going to do it on page 9,732 of the ToS that they forced you to accept before you can watch a video.

    Oh no, you mean my personal data may ne compromised?

    I swear it’s probably not even that bad with illegal streams because they likely don’t even have the resources to harvest your data at a massive scale.

      They sure go out of their way to fill every pixel with ads, tho. If you so much breathe while the site’s open, an ad tab opens.

      Guess that’s the counterbalance to being unable(?) to sell PID

    As the “techie” guy on the marketing team, this offends me on so many levels…

    Everyone knows it’s “C://>”

    At this point I trust “criminals” more than I trust giant media cartels. Copyright mafia can fuck right off.

    Because the giant media streaming corporations definitely don’t. Even though you pay them. Right?

    On an illegal streaming site I don’t even have to create an account and I’m opening it in an incognito window… on a legal streaming site, like Netflix, I have to give them payment info, email and physical address, …
