Feel free to suggest her/him the sites which you feel is legit. :)
Okay, Okay! 😃 Cool!!! Calm down...! Take it easy...!!! 😛 Now, lemme reply:
Regarding your "written updates" thing, you also know that first of all, most of them, if not all are not written by them i.e. they're not the original source! That's apart from relying on piracy, they even indulge in plagiarism so that being said, they're not earning an iota of their bread-and-butter from their own creative effort at all, that's what I'm against at! Period. Moreover, he didn't ask for any "WU" site, he just asked for a reference where he could just watch the "missed episodes" for free, that's all. He didn't ask for any "bonus feature" like "text commentary" (I doubt even if "WUs" are worthy to be called the same) or news whatsoever. 😊 (He's not looking for home-video, right?? 😛)
And then comes the "popularity factor" (or say "quite popular[sic]" in your terms), so popularity isn't a "barometer" for right or wrong or negative or positive!!! Moreover, how could you say that it's "quite popular", do you have any reference such as Alexa rankings or Google Search data or ComScore, etcetera? If so, then taking-out few minutes from your time and fetching that data would be much more than appreciated!!!
A regarding the "ban" thing, well, Unfortunately (or rather say "Thankfully" 😉) our Union Government is still not much upto such things, specially when it comes to upholding the rights of Indian TV industry which loves to churn-out regressive content on-par with the quality of its TVC initiatives (which is gradually improving just like the former). Jokes apart, the point is that Government is not keen to take stringent action on such websites because "lobbying" in not much there, if not at all and you can easily "grasp" it by look at how much IBF talks about piracy "versus" broadcasters themselves. So, that's only a matter of time before IBF takes it "too seriously". 😊 Here, I would like to twist that proverb a little (a "parody") and say: "Be careful of what you speak!". 😛 😃
And regarding 2 websites which you mentioned as an example [for the preceding point], while I'm not able to access the former (it gives "404 Error" from the ISP side [rather device which is a common phenomenon]), but I'm able to perfectly access the latter without a hitch. So did you checked before citing examples or not?? 😛 For the sake of clarification, I'm using Vodafone IN's mobile internet and since you can see, being peacefully living in my own country, I don't any stuff such as VPN and all [that] to get around with legit platforms or government regulations! I'm in the North India geographical region, if you're honestly from India, which zone are you from [accessing those websites]?? 🤔
And now coming to the "majority factor", well, I really and humbly do agree to your point since it's [sadly] a "common mindset" but I reiterate something from one of aforementioned points that something being a choice of/supported by majority doesn't necessarily stand right/positive or wrong/negative. 😊 See the hatred on social media and various public Internet platforms for example, does that mean that most of the population of India is filled with hatred and hates each other to the extent that a "grand civil war" is inevitable, right?? 😊 I know that your answer would be [most probably] "no"...!!! 🤔 So I do hope that you got my point [well]. 😊
And now addressing the last (and no need add anything for the sake of original saying 😛) point, Thank You So Much for the approval BTW...!!!
Regards
