Lol, what?
For convenience and price, you simply can't beat free streaming sites.
Usenet is even better. I have my *arrs set up to run both and tdarr transcodes everything to h265 10 bit.
I'm scared to do torrent man. I didn't care about it when I was in Indonesia. Now I live in Germany, and now I'm scared of doing it.
Not everyone wants to torrent.
He's right, downloading gets you better encodes that prioritize quality over getting the smallest possible file to keep upload totals down.
But yeah you're also right, for 99% of people avoiding downloads is the right move.
