    Posting generational memes from 2016? That’s a bold choice.

      Tbf, torrenting without seeding is currently relevant, given the Facebook AI lawsuit in progress…

      As for making it a generational thing, that’s a decision by the artist that I personally don’t agree with 🤷

          Oh yeah. All my coworkers talk/ask about “sites” which are just streaming sites filled to the absolute brim with ads and all the videos are low bitrate. Kinda sad ngl

            That’s on them for using lousy websites. I can stream in full 1080p while using adblock so I never have to deal with ads (why would anyone stream anything without adblock, that is THE fastest way to get a virus omg)

              full 1080p

              Really doesn’t mean anything. A 1080p movie can be 2gb and it’s technically still 1080p. But a 1080p Bluray is 20-30GB. Resolution is a small part of quality.

          I’m trying to convert some of my (alarmingly) slightly younger friends to torrent trackers. So far so good

          edit: and tbf slightly older people are almost as bad about streaming in my experience, so it affects everyone

          A while ago I told a young co worker that I just download whatever tv series I want, and since then they seem to be under the impression I have hundreds of USB thumbsticks lying around for storage. I hate to generalise but they really don’t seem to get anything about piracy.

            “No, I have 3 4tb drives and 5 1tb drives. I mean I do have 15 sticks around but most of those have a linux distro on them and the others are for general use.”
