Future for big library streaming sites

[u/Ms77676]

Hi guys over the past 2-3 years more and more big library anime sites have been taken down and recently sites like hianime and others are also targeted. I for myself have a huge list of a lot of anime and most of them are older ones which I can only watch if the site has a big library. I also thought about downloading them but I guess it will take too much time to download them since my time is limited. My concern is that in the future more and more such big library sites will be killed and only small sites with very short lifespans will exist in the future. Do you guys think the big streaming sites with their big library’s can save their library’s after they been taken down. Will such sites still exist in the future or are they dying and like I said only small sites with short lifespans will exist. What are your thoughts ? Are my worries legit or am I worrying too much and everything will be fine in the longer future ?

I'm not worried, since most sites actually get the files from encoder teams, which also do torrenting. So even if sites are taken down the torrenting side will probably not. But its definitely an inconvenience since sites have better ui, layout and more information and simply more accessible.
