Hey guys, I am a NextJs Dev. I want to make and anime streaming website. Ofcourse I am totally broke. I can't afford a database. Even if I could how does that work anyways? I mean, do I have to upload every single anime?? That sounds like a lot of work. How do sites like zoro or 9anime deal with it? Do they have their own db? I thought about webscrapping but I am not sure how it's done, if anybody could explain in detail I would be grateful. I am trying to understand how those stuffs really work. Also, I know an api called Consumet but I want to be able to make my own! I am working on a french anime website so I need to figure out how I can get the animes.
My previous website using Consumet API (still works check it out :)) https://poketv.vercel.app/
Please, can you tell me more about the tools they use? What file hosting service would you recommend??
no idea what their technical details are. afaik they use their own servers or whatever they use for hosting their site I imagine, since any standard filehost will take down copyrighted content.
