Will I get a virus from movie-web.app? (lemmy.ml)

So I've heard that this is the best website for watching movies, as it doesn't have any ads and doesnt redirect you anywhere or anything like that. However, the site plays videos from other sites, which do contain malware, and I've heard that you can get a virus from simply playing a video online. So while movie-web itself won't give you a virus, will playing a movie on it give you one (assuming you don't have an adblocker)? Thanks.

As someone who knows sweet fuck all about programming but has been cruising the internet since dail up as well as pirating stuff long before most users here were even a glimmer of hope in their daddy's testicles, this "just fucking read the code you idiot" mentality is just how it is here...and they wonder why the rest of the world won't join them. Assholery in a tech sense is Lemmy.

Its not even about that. The sites they serve the videos from are not on that repo.

Fine. Live in ignorance if you find being less intelligent something to be proud of

I have a mental block when it comes to learning programming. Been wishing to learn it since ages, but even with a teacher, I just couldn't progress far.
