I did forget about the ones that stream video but those do not contain less ads than youtube so I think its safe to say the meme wasnt reference those sites.

There are pirate sites that do video streaming
Neither youtube does, at least piracy sites have to find a way to rip the vids
Which is true only for a few sites and many low quality ones
and you forgot that you need to pay money to host the site server and pay for the domain name
