"The pirate bay, the most censored website in the world, started by kids, run by people with problems with alcohol, drugs and money, still is up after almost 2 decades. Parlor and gab etc have all the money around but no skills or mindset. Embarrassing.

The most ironic thing is that TPBs enemies include not just the US government but also many European and the Russian one. Compared to gab/parlor which is supported by the current president of the US and probably liked by the Russian one too.

First time tpb got shut down was because a Mexican gang wanted some cash. Took a day to move. Second time was when the USG forced Sweden to send 50 cops and even arrest the lawyer. Took 3 days to get back online, 1.5 days was spent to get drunk and party."
