please, god, stop talking about where you do piracy on public forums. stop talking about specific sites. don't name services. don't link links. don't respond to shutdowns with recommendations on where to go next. stop airing this out publicly. you are not shepherding the masses. you are plattering cash for salivating IP lawyers if you do literally anything other than reply 'DMs' when talking publicly about anything that is even in a light-gray area.
the worst type of posting, all time, is when a piracy site is shut down and all of the absolute lemmings ^(not^ ^an^ ^insult^ ^I^ ^usually^ ^like^ ^to^ ^use!)^ immediately decide to pile into the thread of the news post reporting this and go "🙏 thank GOD they didn't get" and then practically post the entire WHOIS lookup for their favorite service alongside the specific products they love to consume on there with an appended "like where else would I watch [MEDIA PROPERTY] 😭"
look. I get it we grew up in the panopticon. chronic oversharing online is, IMO, the most prominent feature that gaps millenials and gen Z.
still, you fucking snitch-addicted neuron beasts need to learn discretion! you are skirting the law! your posts are public! you know what I would do if I was a corporate copyright lawyer? hitch a fucking RSS feed to every single news post about a piracy site shutdown and watch as hundreds of people tell on themselves for, what I assume, comes down to:
- my site not mentioned in comments must confirm others share qualia with me
- heh, theyre using that site? lmao, get with the program (my site)
- ah, it seems the users of this service are lost sheep, allow me to recommend my own illicit service so they shall find their way
and compile the services they VOLUNTEER UP TO THE CHOPPING BLOCK FOR THE NEXT DOSSIER BECAUSE THE VERY CONCEPT OF PRIVACY AND DISCRETION HAS BEEN SKINNER-BOXXED OUT OF PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO EVEN REDIRECT THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS TO DMs BECAUSE THEY ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING BEFORE OTHER PEOPLE SAY IT! THEY HAVE TO CAPTURE THE ZEITGEIST! THEY HAVE TO BE TAPPED IN! THEY HAVE TO LET OTHERS KNOW THEY ARE TAPPED IN! THEY REQUIRE IMMEDIATE UNINTERRUPTED FEEDBACK ON EVERYTHING! EVEN WHEN THEY ARE SKIRTING THE LAW!
how the fuck am I supposed to find the sites if people don't talk about it
DMed my preferred resource, but also just kinda ask around in DMs of people who have talked about torrenting in the abstract. it's daunting but it's both more discrete and has had a much better track record for me in terms of getting the good stuff, anecdotally
It's simple! Just be in the know. Join a discord and then join another discord that splinters off of that discord because of drama, and then eventually get invited to another discord and then ask one of the users there for an invite to Sooper Sekret Private Tracker website and then you can watch your favorite shows there! Oh and make sure to seed everything popular otherwise you'll get banned for being a leech!!!
this is so relateable
