These sites do not host the content themselves. Instead, they act as aggregators. When a user visits Pirlo TV or Rojadirecta, they are met with a schedule of the day’s events. Each event typically has multiple links categorized by language, quality, and streaming technology.

Rojadirecta (which translates to "Direct Red") started in the early 2000s as a forum and link aggregator. Unlike modern streaming sites that host videos directly, Rojadirecta acts as a directory. It does not host content; instead, it provides links to third-party streams found on platforms like UStream, Dailymotion, or VK.

: They often include chat rooms or forums where users share the most stable links, creating a real-time crowdsourced quality control system.

Stream quality and link availability can vary significantly depending on the event's popularity.

While Rojadirecta represents the "old guard" of Web 1.0 link aggregators, represents the shift toward embedded, direct-watch streaming.
