Those website are more of a risk than torrents
Pretty easy to identify, quarantine, and repair threats from a browser compared to downloads.
When you’re connected to a webpage for 40+ minutes you’re being exposed to all kinds of info stealers, trackers, cryptominers, etc.
If you just check what you’re downloading is an mkv, you are pretty much risk free.
Oh no! I accidentally left location services on and now they’ve bricked my computer with ransomware! /sarcasm
Oof.
That is the most incorrect tech take I’ve heard in a very long time.
Downloading MKVs and AVIs is infinitely more safe than janky ass streaming sites EVEN WITH ADBLOCKING
If you’re using VLC to play downloaded MKV and AVIs then injected threats are far from uncommon.
If a person already has a source for content they trust then go with torrents but if they don’t then it isn’t safer at all.
MPC or MPV >> VLC
And the quality is so much better to boot.
