netflix content is crap in a lot of countries outside major western countries. youtube doesn't have films / series twitch, I don't really know what this is, I thought it is where you watch people play games? Why the hell would I want to watch this? fortnite, I think is a game? Again, why would I want to watch this? Also, a lot of places connection speeds make streaming difficult, so downloading a torrent to watch later that evening makes sense

"youtube doesn't have films / series" Yes, it does, if you pay. It works the same as Google Play Movies.

  but it cost 5 euros for only one movie, so nobody use it. Netflix doesn't have much content outside of US. So torrents are still a huge thing

    well there's also youtube premium that has premium content by well known creators, both episodic and cinematic in nature.

  This is world wide? I have never seen it advertised, or have any idea of what content they have

  It now has free original series as well. Just search for YouTube originals

What I meant: nowadays, there is such a huge and great offering for your media consumption needs and all of the above are competing for your airtime. All are so good that it got quite tough for all the market players. The urge to watch some stellar movie as a torrent is not that big anymore as years ago because of the good competition.

  ok fair enough. I don't play games and have no desire to watch people play games. > The urge to watch some stellar movie as a torrent is not that big anymore as years ago because of the good competition. Maybe for some (younger generations), but watching films is still a huge activity for vast numbers of people After 12 hours are work, I want to watch a film. I could buy legal DVDs in this country with a lot of effort (3 hour trip to the city) probably could find legal DVDs in an upmarket mall. Yes there is netflix, but the content here is terrible, I couldn't watch a film I wanted to, just have to watch "something" that is on offer. End of the day, if I want to watch a film / documentary / series I have chosen, I have no choice but for torrents. They work. They are simple. All I have to do is click a link by early afternoon.
