I still don't get how so many 123movies clones can keep popping up with seemingly every TV show and movie there, with probably nearly all users using ad-blockers and very few possible advertisers in the first place. They get taken down regularly then presumably deal with the effort of moving elsewhere.

They don't seem to be p2p either, they have some server. Maybe it's stolen infra.

Most don't host the content themselves. They iframe or whatever other hosts.

A lot of the pirate streaming services I see are either using torrents on the backend or they're abusing normal video hosting services and just replacing links that get taken down so that when the sites/apps themselves die they only need a new domain/app to point at the the same files on those same services instead of moving TBs of files around

They embed other hosts, most of the websites usually use the same hosts but with different frontends slapped on top.
