Eli5 How are websites able to provide pirated content for free? Doesn’t it cost money to host the content, program and maintain the site etc?

Those types of websites either operate off donations, subscriptions, or more likely off running ads.
So why don’t advertisers just stop advertising on those sites? Some unscrupulous advertisers just don’t care, others don’t know.
Ad services are provided by bigger companies like Google and Facebook and sometimes they don’t know they are putting ads on a website offering illegal services until they are reported.
