movie-web was just taken down with all its repos, Yuzu was taken down, then suyu forked it on gitlab and was taken down, countless clones of nintendo games, platform emulators, and a bunch of other things are taken down because they are hosted on the clear web.

If you're a dev and planning to write software for piracy, host it on I2P!

I remember trying to play with I2P back in the day and it being slow. Now I wouldn't even know how to access it. Is there something I can read or watch that can reintroduce me and teach me the basics?

Seconded. Maybe start the how-to with what it is.

https://geti2p.net still exists.

I2P is still slow, but that's because there aren't many nodes. It is faster than a few years ago though. I can get download speeds of 100 KB/s or more. It's like TOR in the early days with mostly private nodes and few hosted nodes. It's easy to get a VPS and host and I2P node for a fiver a month or less.
