Torrenters : Communitarian / communist, sharing to strangers for the communal good.
Service-enjoyers : Individualist consumers, paying to rent data (not own it) from capitalist media companies, shares nothing to the community.
They're charging more now to rent than it costs to buy, it made sense if you didn't want to keep something, but now the consolidation and enshittification has kicked in and there is zero value to "streaming" period.
What about ppl like me who have a full ARR setup
Good of course, as long as the torrents stay seeded (at least to a certain ratio). I haven't kept up with all these sonarr advances over the years.
