Yeah it makes me a bit sad.. torrents are technically really cool, and the casual anarchist in me likes how they remove the need for expensive infra/bandwidth to serve huge data.
Yet the overwhelming use by far is just to pirate vids.

- heartbeats 4y agoPeople will use a technology for what it's best at. It's no different from how people use(d) Bitcoin mainly to buy drugs. BitTorrent is maybe slightly superior for legal file-sharing, but strongly superior for illegal one, and so it only dominates in the latter. I don't think it's anything to be sad about; people use it because it works. It would be much sadder if it weren't used at all.
