there's now more ads in "legit" sites (YouTube, amazon) than in piracy sites (lemmy.world)

People upload whole MasterChef seasons on Youtube. Legit

That just makes sense though? The legit sites have to pay for, fund, or in some way support the content which does cost money. The piracy sites obviously don’t have that cost so they don’t need as much income.

The piracy sites also pay a lot less in infra, since they rely on the user to store, seed to others, and serve the content to the local users. All that infra is offloaded to the user.
