I doubt it. Streaming sites like Fmovies are used almost entirely by technologically illiterate users. It's for people who want to pirate, but don't want to learn anything.

These users are going to remain helpless until the next malware-laden streaming website enters their lives.

They're not about to install additional software to try to access anything, or at least not software like I2P or BitTorrent, because that would require effort and some amount of technical understanding to accomplish.

This is like wondering why so many people still use Twitter two years into Elon's hostile takeover. People will resign themselves to defeat if it saves them from having to learn anything new.

Pfffft...if only.

What do I see them doing a lot of the time? "WHUT VPN SHULD I USE?!" asked like 1,000 fucking times a day. "WHERE SHULD I GU TO GET X FILE FROM Y SOURCE SINCE MY FAVORITE PLACE GOT SHUT DOWN? :("

Legions of new pirates are lazy, entitled and think they've got the privilege to be spouting how much they think they should get for putting in as little as much work to get what they want. Always e-begging.

I never considered I2P as a source, is it good for PC games?
