The Uablocklist team, which developed a registry of all blocked sites, analyzed visits to pirate sites and legal streaming services and online cinemas.
Monthly number of visits to popular pirate sites in Ukraine by specific domain. Here, it should be taken into account that pirate sites are constantly migrating from one domain to another to avoid blocking and other sanctions, so the real numbers may be much higher.
The number of visits to various domains of popular pirate sites. And this is only the traffic that passes through Ukrainian providers without a VPN.
The number of views on Netflix is approximately 30 times lower than on UAKino.
Visitor figures for legal streaming services and online cinemas in Ukraine:
In terms of the number of branded queries (when people specifically searched for the name or domain of a pirate site), HDRezka is 4.5 times more popular than Netflix and 2 times more popular than Megogo.
However, there is a ray of hope in these numbers, Uablocklist notes. The total number of visits to pirated sites is 20 times greater than to all official video content providers combined, but pirates are specifically searched for only twice as often. This difference is made up of all those cases when the user searched for a movie or series by title or did not know what to watch at all.
