Wtf does this do

Awesome Zhuiju Free is a curated Chinese language guide to free, ad free ways to watch shows and movies online. Its name roughly means chasing dramas for free, and it is aimed at people looking for streaming sites, apps, cloud drive search tools, magnet and BitTorrent sources, subtitle sites, TVBox and similar streaming box configurations, IPTV live channel sources, group buy memberships, and open source projects related to watching video, mostly within China. The project's main selling point is that every listed resource is picked by hand rather than scraped automatically, and a GitHub Actions workflow checks each link once a day to see whether it still works. Each entry in the list shows a short description, a star rating, an availability status such as reachable, limited, or unreachable, and the date it was last checked. A companion website at zhuiju.me offers the same information outside of GitHub. As of this snapshot the project lists 81 resources and has over four thousand stars. The README explains why the maintainer built this instead of using an ordinary navigation site: typical link directories carry ads, nobody keeps their links working, and they are closed off to outside contributions. This project is ad free, checks its own links automatically every day, keeps its data open in the repository, and accepts new resource submissions or broken link reports through GitHub issue templates. The content itself is organized into categories such as online streaming sites, streaming apps, cloud drive search, magnet and BitTorrent sources, subtitles, TVBox and similar shell apps with their configuration addresses, IPTV channels, membership group buys, and related open source projects. Because it is a curated list rather than software, there is little to install: you browse the README or the website and follow the links that interest you. The project is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and describes itself as community maintained, meaning anyone can propose additions or fixes through the issue tracker. The full README is longer than what was shown.
