Kinda the opposite given that’s kinda the whole point of torrenting. The more people there are the faster the download speeds and longer the seed will stay up.
Torrenting isn’t difficult but it’s also not very user friendly.
I don’t really know what a magnet link is, I just know it’s what I want. There’s also a bunch of stats and settings in my torrenting app that I don’t understand but apparently it’s ok to just ignore them. I’m fine with that, but that level of confusion is very off-putting to most people.
I know people who have some app, I forget its name, on their smart television which is very accessible. It looks like a regular streaming service dashboard. Torrenting doesn’t have to be difficult and technical - but I wouldn’t have seen this if I didn’t go to that friend’s place.
I think anyone comfortable with managing files on a computer would be fine with torrents. Especially anything like qbitorrent which has integrated search. But the majority are ipad kinda users.
Typically, people stay on the torrents because they are free, while all usenet costs money. Which is the point. Maybe genz can’t even afford Usenet access.
Is this because they don’t know how to torrent? Or did the “you wouldn’t download a car” ads get into the water supply?
99% of internet users don’t know what a torrent is.
Yeah I feel like millennials got lucky because both the older and the younger know nothing about how the internet works.
Which is probably a good thing for torrent users

If copyright laws weren’t draconian, maybe
torrent is useless, who wants to connect to a million people who are only sharing the arch iso?
woah now; I also share the debian iso! ✌🏼
You’re doing the Lord’s work.
Swim sideways to not get caught in a torrent.
Someone who isn’t me sideways

And I guess you get into torrents because you don’t know what usenet is.
Word
Or don’t want to have to pay for Usenet access.
But will pay for a VPN to run torrents or just risk the exposure?

Using torrents without a VPN is crazy to me.
Doesn’t that mostly come down to where you live and what enforcement looks like there?
I suppose that could be true.
Both in use.
Why be exclusive with it if you can get the best of both worlds
