It makes sense for it to be on the rise, the legit landscape now is dire. There are too many platforms to stream or purchase from. If you want to pay it’s difficult.
I understand torrenting offers one easy and convenient search, no ads, can download in advance of a journey, no country lock, no expiring downloads, no series disappearing off Netflix half way through watching.

- wpm 3y agoYou’re often getting better quality from torrents too. Even if I have access to a movie on Netflix, the downloaded copy will likely look worse than a Blu-Ray rip, even one re-encoded down to a more digestible size. Streaming looks like ass, it’s optimized for “good enough for most viewer and not too heavy on the CDNs”.
