Usenet is awesome, but the fact that you have to pay for Usenet access defeats the main purpose of pirating for a lot of people.
Don't get me wrong, it is super cheap(60$-100$/year?) and worth it to pay for Usenet from what I understand, but as a poor kid that discovered torrenting out of necessity, paying for Usenet back then would've been out of the question. I imagine a lot of Gen Z kids feel the same about it at this point in their lives.
Sure, but as treasure hunters, it is a necessity, if you are not using private tracker for finding torrents
And, you don’t kill torrents if you use the usenet instead of leaching (e.g. because seeding is illegal in your country but leaching is allowed)
I scored a year of unlimited Usenet for 32 bucks
