Are they though? I see a whole lot of talk in these threads every time and I’m not convinced. Feels like a lot of hot air

Some. But subscriber rates went up when they disabled sharing.

I'm like you and think some definitely bail but not enough for then to care.

I went back to full arr stack and usenet when it became too fragmented and unreasonably priced.

Is there enough good content to make it worthwhile? I haven't downloaded a movie in months, the latest offerings are so unappealing.

Find better sources. If you're not seeing something you want in the places you know about, put in more effort. You're not gonna find shit from a google search.

As for myself, I hopped on Usenet and ditched torrents almost entirely. Far better selection of pretty much everything.

The source isn't the issue, it's the cquality of the art. I used to download TV shows, haven't seen anything worth watching besides the odd episode of Abbott Elementary.

I’ve switched to a lot of foreign media tbh. Irish television is killing it right now for example.
