i did not think about that piracy stuff etc... Your probably right about this

But Geezzz just looking at semrush and other tools and i wonder why they just don't sell it ?

Or there should be a way to monetize this platform/ website in a better way than they do no?

so they served 1.8PB of mostly pirated content and they can't scrape together $12k?

Might be hard to get ad sponsorship for pirated content and who knows what else, and on top of that other shady pirates trying to close down the competition

You laugh but a lot of companies that seem large aren't doing as well as people assume. This is part of that sector.

[HomerSimpson]

I bet they make nice money from their ads but are not interested in giving their money for the trouble they are in right now...

[incredibleworkethic]

That's a lot of content sharing!

[stoka]

they obviously haven't heard of hostgator's unlimited b/w $5 plan

not free of change as requested but close enough ;)

They lost their adult hosting privilege seems like it. Postimage.org ? free image hosting / image upload ? Postimage.org
