If users can find those sites then corpos find it as well. They don't need YouTube videos to find out about that. I bet it is even someones job in big corporations to find pirate sites and I'd bet the last place they look is on YouTube.

I thought it about getting way more traffic than the site could sustain leading to shutdown. 

This is what I've seen sites credit as a reason the most (and copyright infringement).

if too many people know about the site, it will draw attention of the corpos too. that is why i cant fathom why some video sites i have used even tell you to share the site with other people in social media or whatnot.

I agree with you. But at the same time, filming a tiktok promoting criminal activity is really stupid. Not telling people should be rule number 1.

But they make it more known than before unlike our word of mouth strategy which keeps it in the inner circle for longer

Meaning more possible victims to their legion of lawyers.

I'm anyway, it is more impactful to take down a grown sure than a rather unknown
