pirating sites serve no video

There are pirate sites that do video streaming

dont produce any content

Neither youtube does, at least piracy sites have to find a way to rip the vids

no dev team because its a copy paste open source implementation

Which is true only for a few sites and many low quality ones

and you forgot that you need to pay money to host the site server and pay for the domain name

I did forget about the ones that stream video but those do not contain less ads than youtube so I think its safe to say the meme wasnt reference those sites. Also this is just nitpicking, there is no argument between the cost to run a pirating site that hosts links to torrents and youtube therefore it makes sense why youtube would need to run more ads.
