Oh no, the youngins are on their "if no one talks about it, the corpos won't know" delusion again.

Security through obscurity isn't security, and plenty of sites have survived longer than most of you have been pirating despite coverage by actual news organizations. Your least (or most) favorite youtuber (or forum, or guide, or wiki) isn't moving the needle.

If you aren't part of the actual scene that's sourcing shit for day 0 (or earlier) upload you have nothing to worry about regarding open discussion through psuedonymous social media. Or people making youtube videos. Or guides etc.

Pirate sites and fan projects that get shut down weren't going to last anyway. Real ones arr either set up to last or find a way to continue. Like Pirate Bay and AM2R.
