Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

With Gundam is it a "You can jump in anywhere" show or do I need context from other shows?
There are several different timelines. Some Gundam shows exist in their own timelines and can be watched independently, like Iron Blooded Orphans or Turn A, while others are part of a multi-series timeline, like the original Gundam 0079, Zeta Gundam, and Gundam ZZ.
IBO is the only Gundam stuff I've seen TBH. My understanding, of Gundam as a whole, is that its all just different stories and settings with the only commonality being "hey there's these big mechs called Gundams."
So yeah, Iron Blood is only like 50 episodes and you can just go in order without having seen anything else before.
The 80s stuff / the shows made by Tomino: no - there's a continuity.
After that, yes. With a couple of sequel exceptions and remakes of the old stuff (but those tend to be obscure).
