I think God for all the illegal streaming sites out there. Because God knows that it's not safe to torrent these days

Not safe? Setting up a VPN isn't that hard.

It's honestly a single click at this point with many of the GUI clients offered by VPN providers, and there's so much competition out there that VPN service is one of the few things in the world actually getting cheaper.

It's safer to use illegal streaming? What's so unsafe about torrenting?

Direct streaming/downloading doesn't give your IP away (just to the server), torrenting does.

Though some streaming sites are torrents in the background.
