It seems animesuge.to, anix.to and aniwave.to closed down with the exact same message, though there may be a few other sites that closed down in a similar way.

It's something we should do to show our respect to creators

Yeah pretty based

and content producers

That text is included in every site that was shut down. All I can do is speculate, but I think the site owners were forced to write that. It's unlikely that every pirate site owner suddenly had a change of heart in regards to piracy.

If there will be a service for paying the creators directly, will you pay for that?

[–] Hazzia@infosec.pub 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Probably. Unless they're only using that as a hook where there are still other forces not directly involved in the creative/hosting process that are taking 90% of the profits.

EDIT: just realized you're probably talking about stuff like patreon where you actually just pay the creators, in which case, absolutely! I've got a number of patreons I'm actively supporting
