In like 144p with ads. Obviously I kid with that above setup that zoomers (and I) love, you can just torrent with qbittorrent and watch in VLC like long before video streaming. Ez pz.
Imagine being on a piracy related instance and not using an ad blocker, or thinking that illegal online streams are 144p.
Huh? I use ublock origin, sponsorblock, privacy badger, etc etc. but that's for browsing the web and YT. Not watching movies and TV shows which is what torrenting is for. I'm from a piracy instance and that's precisely why I know to do that rather than watch some dodgy "illegal online streams" site?
They're about as dodgy as your illegal torrents. lol And no, those addons are for every website out there, including streaming sites.
LMAO, I use adblockers and even braflix (rip) provided content in HD. Also everyone can't have infinite bandwith and storage.
Also, opening website on Firefox with Adblock is much faster than torrenting.
Centralized storage of pirated content is a problem. You want p2p to continue, otherwise it's suddenly very easy to deprive all of those streaming sites of content.
I know but I already stated the reason why I prefer streaming site over torrenting.
YIFY also uses "HD". So does YT. Doesn't make it good though, unless you're watching on your phone or something.
Okay that makes sense actually, I forgot US has limited data on their main internet connections.
Naah Bro India. Wi-Fi have unlimited bandwith but I am talking about cellular data.
