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 🤷

    Don't younger people prefer streaming and direct download pirate sites to torrenting anyway

    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)

    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.
