Similar sites that let you stream movies/shows/manga are aggregated on sites like TheBestCouchPotatoList:
You can find most free streaming sites through google/duckduckgo searches or pirating communities like the r/Piracy sub on reddit
Anything else can be found on torrent sites, which are usually aggregated on sites like TheProxyBay or r/piracy
If you want an absolutely awesome free streaming service. Most movies in HD. Subtitles are fantastic if you need them. Most shows are available next day for streaming.
Kissanime, going to check that one out
Youtube is probably the biggest piracy site that exists. Nowadays many stuff is hidden from copyright bots by having titles of movies, audio books etc that don’t match the original.
I’m trying to get back on the ol’ sea, but all of the websites I know are gone or untrustworthy
If anybody knows how to find a replacement, could you please DM me?
Nice try, cop.
I added some recommendations to the description of the post :3
DuckduckGo seems to block all the youtube ads for me.
Fully recommend.
Welcome to 2026 where there is a global war on

Can we be cell besties?
kissanime just brought back so much nostalgia for me, the first place I started browsing and watching anime on back in 2009.
If you never left Firefox, neither of them have ever had ads.
Or if you’ve switched to Vivaldi soon enough.
Unfortunately, Firefox has become really slow, especially at work, in my case.
Kissanime? Are we back in 2010? It has horrible ui and don’t think the original is even alive anymore. Instead, try miruro, hianime, animepahe or just go to everythingmoe.com and pick a website that suits your needs.
hianime
isn’t that hentai?
Seriously. I feel like they made a huge mistake with that name lol.
might not be a mistake :)
Possibly unpopular take, besides google corporate greed, YT hosts more stuff then pirating sites, unpopular things are less likely to be pirated, so pirate repos are somewhat curated. Less content, and no leeching executives means less costs means less ads needed.
Actually, I mostly pirate things I can’t find to stream with a reasonably-priced subscription, or without ads, and unless we’re talking 15-plus-year-old shows or “animes” I’ve heard about that turn out to be Hentai, I generally find what I’m looking for, with seeds.
Hell, I’m sure if I could be bothered to find a Hentai-centric pirate site, or joined a private tracker, I wouldn’t have a problem finding anything for free.
*fewer
I’m sorry
Historically using “less” for countable things was acceptable. There are examples from Old English 1000 years ago. I like this guy’s explanation where it’s more of a squares and rectangles relationship than a squares and circles one.
How dare you
Ads is both finite and infinite in the sense that you may count ads, but their volume can also be measured in fractional/continuous ways such as screen space or video length.
imo fmhy(dot)net is way better for finding resources
I didn’t know about that one, thanks! :3
I mean, the really good sites tend to have no ads at all.
welcome to 2025 where you pay and STILL have ads.
I was actually thinking about how there are tons of memes I do not and will not ever understand because the shared experience is of seeing an online ad campaign, and I’ve been using ad blockers since at least 1996.
Whenever I see an ad interruption on someone else’s YouTube or something, I’m aghast and surprised, and they act like it’s nothing 😅
It takes a great deal of mental strength to not mock someone and gloat about your adblockers when you see someone else sit through ads
I wish sponsorblock worked on chromecast…

You could always get a fire stick and put smart tube on it
