Hey guys, I am a NextJs Dev. I want to make and anime streaming website. Ofcourse I am totally broke. I can't afford a database. Even if I could how does that work anyways? I mean, do I have to upload every single anime?? That sounds like a lot of work. How do sites like zoro or 9anime deal with it? Do they have their own db? I thought about webscrapping but I am not sure how it's done, if anybody could explain in detail I would be grateful. I am trying to understand how those stuffs really work. Also, I know an api called Consumet but I want to be able to make my own! I am working on a french anime website so I need to figure out how I can get the animes.

My previous website using Consumet API (still works check it out :)) https://poketv.vercel.app/

It's exactly that, a lot of work, they rip the animes from legit streaming services (before those services where available, it was from japanese TV channels). Those sites are OLD, it took them years of daily uploads to be that big.

Dang... Well if I have to go the "upload everything myself" way I can definitely do it but it's just going to take time.
