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.
