Streaming sites are usually just the front-end of a content host. The are a number of different domains that all use the same hosts. Banning the streaming sites does absolutely nothing to prevent piracy. Streaming sites rarely host their own content. An example would be the recently banned NSFW streaming domain "Goodporn(dot)to" and it's subsidiaries, which actually did host their own content. Given that they were arguably the most complete library of illegaly hosted copyrighted western pornography, it kind if made sense to prosecute them specifically.

As long as the actually content provider isn't prosecuted the streaming sites won't disappear. Finding a streaming site is essentially as simple as entering 123movies/series/anime/etc. into a search engine and clicking on the first link. The actual content providers like DoodStream, UpCloud, StreamSB, etc. usually operate out of countries where the copyright holder has no jurisdictions.

Edit: pretty sure I can't directly link NSFW sites, even if the domain doesn't exist anymore...

That's true.

Yes a business usually consists of people and is driven by profit, you sted the obvious, but what is your point?

Do people buy their vacuums from Dyson Ltd. or from a guy named Kevin?

It's not just about profits, it's about accountability. That's what the different forms of corporations represent. A singular private person can't and shouldn't be held accountable for every product the produce. A business is a layer of protection of limited (Ltd.) accountability. How could anybody be motivated to invent or produce anything if a single miss use of your product that causes any harm (intended or not) could lead to you directly being held responsible and possible going to jail. A business on the other hand usually has limited accountability but is also held to a much higher standard of quality and proof than a private individual ever could.

If everything's a crisis, then nothing is.

That's what I'm trying to say. Losing Twitter isn't a big deal.

Businesses are the ones that produce food, medicine, clothes, build houses, print books, provide gas and electricity, build roads, etc. There are businesses that have outlasted monarchies and democracies. I'm not a corpo schmuck but small businesses are the soul of the soul of our society.

That's a bad idea because of how reliant small businesses are on social media advertising. A regulation like that would essentially screw over every business that isn't rich enough to go to bigger advertising venues.

Let's wait out the next couple of months, but I am almost convinced that at this point a billionare can shoot 10 random people in the head in Time Square with 100 cameras pointed at him, and the victims families are the ones that are going to end up in jail.

I do that with gas, but everybody knows the .9 cents are implied.

from before time camera phones.

I've been living that lifestyle for the past checks notes all my life. I'll give them about 2 years before they want to off themselves.

Because others have gone out if their way not to be reliant on me specifically.

People never let me plan things, people treat me like a child, people always ask other to double check only my work, etc...

The worst thing is its a positive feed back loop. People think you're dumb and don't give you any opportunities, less opportunities means less experience, less experience means you appear less competent, being less competent makes people believe you're dumb.

I always kind of judged comment sections quality by their ability to stay on topic. YouTube has been the absolute worst at this for at least the past 15 years. Test it yourself, go unto any YouTube video check the comments. By the second, sometimes even first reply to the top comment it turn into incoherent nonesense. This is not a new phenomenon, this has always been the case.

The rarest Pepe of them all.

I love the French saying "C'est la vie".

Shuts down a lot of people nagging.

Thats a good one, also along the lines "In our dogs eyes we are the immortal elves."

"Be like squirrel, girl, be like squirrel."
