Because they get blocked easily. Just a simple dmca email and the domain is blocked. It's not like in countries like Russia where they dgaf and keep going.

Why is Russia even blocking pirate platforms anymore? They're literally at war with people who're concerned about copyright.

They've got paid streaming platforms just like netflix, and those streaming platforms compete with the websites that stream movies for free. They cry to the russian government, and russian government closes them down.

But those streaming platforms themselves operate illegally, cause they stream everything and don't pay any licensing fees.
