Those sites are profiting from streaming content that doesn't belong to them, with nothing going back to the creators.

What I don't agree with is Manga takedowns [...] and torrent tracker tackdowns.

Wait, wouldn't torrent trackers (as in, websites like Nyaa, not its actual tracker) be in the same boat here as streaming/DDL sites?

I think what Kuu is saying is that using Nyaa, for example, means you don't have to deal with a plague of ads or link gateways deliberately used so the site can profit - a practice typical of streaming/DDL sites. Not to mention they are just using the fansub groups work, often recompressing releases for a smaller filesize.

But you're right - in any case the content creators don't make anything off it so in that respect they're all as bad as each other.
