Posting generational memes from 2016? That's a bold choice.

Tbf, torrenting without seeding is currently relevant, given the Facebook AI lawsuit in progress..

As for making it a generational thing, that's a decision by the artist that I personally don't agree with 🤷

Don't younger people prefer streaming and direct download pirate sites to torrenting anyway

I'm trying to convert some of my (alarmingly) slightly younger friends to torrent trackers. So far so good

edit: and tbf slightly older people are almost as bad about streaming in my experience, so it affects everyone

Oh yeah. All my coworkers talk/ask about "sites" which are just streaming sites filled to the absolute brim with ads and all the videos are low bitrate. Kinda sad ngl
