When the marketing director wants it to look "techie"
Don't tell me that's going to parse in a CLI
Like Legal Streaming sites don't steal your data without you knowing
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.
Ill trust 100 shady sites over a paid service that is obligated to spy on me.
Nah they steal your data but you know for sure
Did some digging, guess who runs bestreamwise.com? Give you a hint, it starts with C and rhymes with omcast
Is it the "Club of bird friends of Radagast"?
Best Ream Wise
streamsafely.com as well -- they're running legit propaganda campaigns now
means they're scared. they should be
Oh,, well then I guess there’s nothing wrong with this ad. /s
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.
And that <\ at the end 👌
A self-closening null tag. Perfection.
I like that they try to scare you that the streaming websites will steal your info when the “legit” companies already do that…
whatever it does, it's being run with stdin redirected from the root
/directory, which can't be opened for reading, so it'll actually fail before the program even tries to launch.
I mean, the companies that charge us are stealing our personal data too.
And we even pay them to do so.
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.

Uh huh... "Illegal streams" eh?
I like how they fail to mention that legit streaming services just do that anyways as a matter of course.
As the "techie" guy on the marketing team, this offends me on so many levels...
Everyone knows it's "C://>"
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
Yeh that's how they make their money. They're essential clickfarms.
At this point I trust "criminals" more than I trust giant media cartels. Copyright mafia can fuck right off.
you wouldn't
downloadstream a car!Yes I would
Google gets more out of my data than my torrent site.
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, ...
$P$G
Wrong site, its the designers fault but the site is bestreamwise.com
That was the point I was making.
