Tbf, torrenting without seeding is currently relevant, given the Facebook AI lawsuit in progress..

As for making it a generational thing, that's a decision by the artist that I personally don't agree with 🤷

Don't younger people prefer streaming and direct download pirate sites to torrenting anyway

Oh yeah. All my coworkers talk/ask about "sites" which are just streaming sites filled to the absolute brim with ads and all the videos are low bitrate. Kinda sad ngl

That’s on them for using lousy websites. I can stream in full 1080p while using adblock so I never have to deal with ads (why would anyone stream anything without adblock, that is THE fastest way to get a virus omg)

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 week ago

full 1080p

Really doesn't mean anything. A 1080p movie can be 2gb and it's technically still 1080p. But a 1080p Bluray is 20-30GB. Resolution is a small part of quality.
