TPB sucks now.

  Why?

    It's pretty much dead. Nobody publishes quality stuff there anymore.

    For a while they used crypto miners on their site. Not sure if it’s still in effect, but it caused me to look elsewhere. https://www.bitdefender.com/blog/hotforsecurity/the-pirate-bay-used-site-visitors-cpu-to-mine-cryptocurrency-without-asking-permission/ https://www.bitdefender.com/blog/hotforsecurity/the-pirate-b...

      Seems a lot less obnoxious than the ads they used to run (don't know what they run nowadays). Bit sad that JS is too limited to be a miner that can't be implemented more efficiently in something like X86 (randomX) or an ASIC (BTC), I imagine it would have caught on otherwise.

        You could use WASM and WebGPU now so maybe it will make a resurgence.

  kickass torrents used to be my go to before it got taken down. TPB used to be better, and it has gone downhill for a while.
