Scraping another website requires constant maintenance, any structure changes or protection measures on another site can break our system. Every time we make a workaround to fix, it add additional mess. Now the scrapper already so messy that this problem might need a total rework to fix it. We are not motivated to do this. Our service quality is already keep getting worse that we feel it would be better if the site just shut down and people went somewhere better. Letting the site half-working using existing iframe streams is just not acceptable.

We are just scraping other websites anyway. There are a lot of other apps and websites that do the same. Besides, you can still just go directly to the original sites where we get all of the contents, be it wiki sites where info is maintained, legal services where anime is originally licensed, or another pirate sites where we get their streams
