I am sorry to disagree with you Mr Rector, however I will explain for why.
If you have website 1 & 2 you might have a 50/50 split or a 60/40 70/30 etc
If one of those websites go down, say website 1 which has the lion share of the hits, then website 2 will have an increase in traffic, potentially more than it can afford to handle.
It then might be a situation where both websites then are out of order due to the extra and sudden traffic.
You say that fanart.tv needs infrastructure, then an overflow and a loss of user base will be better for them, than having too many users.
I mentioned to the OP that embarking on a project such as this is a fools folley, in respect that needs to have the funds there. The people behind Fanart went into something and if no one donated then it would have crashed and burned ages ago.
People should really not set up sites, expecting donations and for the end user to carry them really, thankfully people do, but others cannot afford to, so it would be beneficial for the main causes of the problem, such as Kodi and Mediaportal, Plex and Emby to come together and help these sites out, unless of course a program uses it's own resources.
Just my thoughts
