I can't tell if no one talks about usenet because no one knows about it or because they don't want anyone else to know about it.

Both. It's a semi secret club.

I prefer torrents because it's totally free, unlike Usenet. I don't even pay for a VPN since I don't care about a few love letters in my inbox. It's not about the cost; it's a matter of principle that I disagree with commercialized piracy.

But Usenet is a good option for other reasons.
