i absolutely hated private trackers. i would seed and seed and seed and nobody ever downloaded anything from me so i could never actually use the site they said 'seed popular stuff!' and i went down this rabbit hole of trying to automate seeding of like garbage pop albums and poo poo in 320 flac and just ended up filling up my hard drive with garbage that i deleted i'm sure there's a way to effectively use them but i'm also pretty sure that way involves being a loving torrent piracy nerd staring at a computer monitor for four hours a day

torrents are loving awful for music, especially when ratio is a concern (as jonny outlined) google play music for most things (funy tech poo poo: youtube music. someday i'll be switching to spotify), and soulseek for old or obscure stuff

the funny thing is now with every content owner pulling their poo poo off of Hulu and Netflix we’re back to a thousand subscription apps for everything and guess what most people don’t want? a thousand subscriptions. it will just drive piracy back up.

It just encouraged minimizing your use unless you had your heart set on getting Top40 stuff from an exclusive access private torrent tracker for some reason. Now I get most stuff on Bandcamp. Soulseek is still around at least. Somehow.
