It seems animesuge.to, anix.to and aniwave.to closed down with the exact same message, though there may be a few other sites that closed down in a similar way.

So just leeching
No, they don’t rely on the BitTorrent network, it’s just regular video streaming
That sounds like a very strange model comparing to how empowering and decentralized real torrenting is.
There even us btfs which allows to mount filesystems over bittorrent and access on demand.
And I am sure that bittorrent over Javascript on a Website would be possible.
Like Snowflake runs as a browser extension and people connect over WebRTC
Pirate websites like this usually rely on the shadier ad networks baked into these kinds of video streaming sites to make their money.
There’s no financial incentive to use BitTorrent based streaming, and if they did I feel the torrents would die rapidly just due to the amount of leechers with barely any seeders to offset the ratio disparity (Unless some kind of webseed was available ?)
It’s for noobs who can’t torrent
I mean it is likely also safer as it is encrypted?
Using a VPN service and installing qBittorrent is pretty easy.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned working in IT, it’s to not underestimate people’s inability to grasp even to most simple of technical tasks.
That is certainly true
