The Hustle: Why Piracy is Making a Comeback
The Hustle is a digital media channel of the Hubspot Media Network of inbound media brands, producing insightful video essays and documentaries about major moves in business, tech and entrepreneurship.
Fragmentation, price hikes, password crackdowns, ad tiers, and shrinking libraries pushed visits to piracy sites from 130B in 2020 to 216B in 2024 — a 66% surge. In this episode, host Claudia Ayuso tracks how Netflix went from the legal alternative to the trigger point, why modern illegal sites now rival legit platforms on UX, and how a $75B annual leak is the industry’s self‑inflicted pain.
NODEHAUS handled the entire post-production for this piece — from ingesting, archival research, editing, motion-graphics animation, sound and color.
