I'm seeing thepiratebay org is discouraged because it has lots of viruses due to lack of moderation. I was wondering how could an mp4 or an mkv etc. could be harmful? Are people talking about executable stuff?

It has long stopped being useful for a long, long time. It is just but a symbol of piracy. It hasn't even had it's original creators for close to 10 years now? Maybe longer.

It's discouraged because it has lost it's place as the place to go to for pirated material. All you'll find is nothing but people slipping in malware on things you want.
