MODERATORS
I am sure you still have same number of those more advanced users, but now far more people have access to computers because they are cheaper and easier to use. That may be about it.
I just don't use torrents anymore, I use xdcc. I used to torrent, but there is so much ransomware, ISP threats, malware, ect. I still use torrents for official things like Linux Isos or Gimp though. Gen z here
Gen X here. I agree torrents are for legit uses only
Usenet is the best for piracy
Not exactly, first of all, this is pretty divisive which I dislike, a lot of late Gen z can and has torrented and used ddl sites. It's early Gen z and Gen alpha that is hopeless.
Wait until they hear we have bots doing it all for us
That's why they made streaming media. Worked good, didn't it?
We know how to torrent mate we aren't dumb
