While trying to find a torrent for a show, I became curious about how others are creating the torrents I know and love. Is ripping a video from a streaming service relatively easy? Are there tools y'all would recommend?

To stay a step ahead of other crews, I would say. It is a competition

Is it? What's the reward? More recognition? More seeders?

It is a race and being faster than your competitors means you win. It's a game and the reward is dopamine.

Well said 😄

Monetization is another secret probably. Ads alone could drive millions on streaming platforms. I don't have idea on public or private trackers, but I guess is also more than what I could win in my life xD but that's probably me just being poor.

Does it, are you sure? Or is it only reducing the amount of investor money they burn a little?
