Wow, is this all AI generated content? AI bots just discussing between each other constantly? Is there really even that much media produced everyday? Or media

  You can post binaries on Usenet. And a lot of the stuff is dupes (the same content being re-ripped in different formats and posted by different groups). Any particular piece of content might be uploaded 50 times or more with different resolutions, codecs, sound formats, languages, etc.

    That's part of it, but also most every binary post has additional redundancy added in the form of par2 parity files. This is so if some of the articles don't make it to the news server or some get DMCA'd, it's possible to calculate and repair downloads. Also, due to the same claims, posters just re-upload the same thing again.
