Torrenting died because things like Netflix and Spotify came along, and they were “good enough” - they didn’t have everything but they had enough stuff that it would leave most people happy.
Now though, things are becoming so fragmented again that I think it’ll pick up. Most people are already sharing accounts to get around it partly.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoExactly. Spotify killed music downloading for me. Providing convenience and quality for a good price. Netflix did too for a while but the current level of fragmentation is crazy. It's more convenient again to download.
- raxxorrax 5y agoSpotify is a shitty service though that might decide your content is too controversial. So in the same breath its existence make sense for piracy. You can just hope creators don't get contracted by them.
