Just checked, you’re right! When did they stop this and is there any report on why? I was seeing these up until just a few months ago.

Google searches show the DMCA takedown notices that list the sites that illegally stream content. It seems to me that if an interested party were to search for something on google and happened to see the DMCA take down notice, they might peruse that takedown request and see a number of sites that might illegally host such copyrighted content - so they know what sites to avoid of course.

Enough that I don’t feel guilty seeking other ways to watch what I want when none of them have it.
Let’s be clear on this, if you have ancestors that lived in the U.S. over 150 years ago and had any wealth in the first half of the 19th century or earlier, you are likely descended from slave owners. This is just a sad fact of our history and it seems to be being used for political means. It’s just as accurate to say that all of those legislators come from old money.
Maybe I’m being a little sensitive due to knowing that my family also owned slaves at one point - and having had that sinking feeling when meeting someone of African descent that shares my last name knowing how they likely got it. But I feel like this article minimizes the truth. Slaves weren’t just owned by the ancestors of political elites. I get that’s not stated that way, but it’s important to remember that almost 1 in 5 people were slaves by the time slavery was abolished.
Safer than a toddler juggling chainsaws. What’s to be scared of?
If you are using such a service, please make sure that you are not acting as an exit node for them by running their app. You will hopefully find the info in their terms of service. I don’t know the services you are using or speaking of directly, but some residential proxies in the past simply redirected users’ traffic through other users’ internet connection without making it clear. This is a big concern for some users that might be a) accused of piracy themselves or b) a middleman to much more nefarious or objectionable traffic.
