Install an adblocker and take the guesswork away, but likely the orange one at the bottom.
It’s actually the one below that. It says “Download or watch”
"or watch" part is still pretty sus
True, but I take it as lazy programming. If it’s a file then download if it’s a video depending on your browser and any extensions/plugins it would essentially stream it instead of download. But true it’s still sus.
I'd say the same if I had to pick, although they all look pretty shady lol
An adblock doesn't necessarily help here. Those work by blocking pictures from being loaded from domains that usually serve ads. Here, they're likely hosting the download link images on their own server, but they'll send you someplace you don't want to go.
