Torrenting will become huge again
I mean... when did it stop being huge?
It's just back to business as usual.

I feel like all people recommending torrenting here are not really understanding the users of those streaming portals. I use them because I dont want to torrent the newest anime epiaode every week and I dont want any automated torrenting setups, because every mistake/fuck up might result in a 3 to 4 digit fine.
I torrent when it actually makes sense for me (high quality or offline viewing) and stream the rest. I am grateful for all those that provide me with those streaming sites and I regularly recommend them to friends after I install an adblocker for them.
They are pointing to a solution, not saying streaming is bad.
Where are you that you could face such a steep punishment? Setting up safe, automatic tormenting is really easy
It's legitimately a non issue, set the torrent software to only connect to the VPN end point

Why don't you just use real debrid or something and stream the torrents remotely?
I am gonna give you a couple answers for that based on what I have read in other places such as Reddit, perhaps OP does not agree with them.
-
RD or debrid services in general are paid services and it goes against their piracy beliefs (This is the silliest thing I could ever read... It only makes sense if you don't care for quality and/or you haven't tried a debrid service in your life).
-
Streaming torrents even paired with debrid services or VPNs (not needed when using a debrid service, or in some countries for bare torrenting) is more cumbersome than just using a website (even in this day and age when Stremio exists), which I kinda agree with them... But you get what you pay for... Am I right?
-
They just don't have a clue of what a debrid service is.
Sounds like streaming from a streaming site with extra steps. But yeah when I torrent I use a cheap seedbox and then download from there to my own hardware.
Except that such an extra step is way better in quality and streaming speeds, compared to streaming sites, if you care about this or 1080p/4K high bitrate media.
As a matter of fact, since you can stream and also download torrents with a debrid service, I'd say paying a cheap seedbox (debrid services are cheap as well) is torrenting with extra steps... Without the ability to stream.
You could do a semi-automated system where you have all your currently airing in RSS, but still need to manually start them. It'd at least save you from having to go searching every time.
Sounds cool, maybe I will try this when I play around with piracy tools again
Cut off one head and two more shall appear. Hail hydra!
My favorite anime website is down; good thing FMHY has a bunch of great ones to choose from. Migrating sucks, though.
So. What android apps and extensions are still best? Dantotsu with extensions seems hit and miss. Probably due to these takedowns.
Thank God we have torrents, but what makes me most sad about this is that many of these sites have unique catalogs that torrents don't have or that you can never get seeds from... being honest, I would 100% migrate to torrent if it didn't have this small big problem.

Do streaming sites actually work for others? Like reliably? At least for me, sometimes they work okay, and I can watch a movie without any buffering, but most of the time I have to deal with lots and lots of buffering. Sometimes every few seconds even. Maybe it's because of the VPN? Never tried it without. But then again, even with a VPN, I get around 75Mbps.
And Netflix/Hulu/etc. new accounts are skyrocketing, I presume?
It would be funny if no observable increase in new user happens
I noticed Animix Player doesn’t have “no ads” servers anymore and even when it opens the ads it doesn’t play. 😭
Over 30 anime piracy websites shut down
Holy crap! Are any private trackers hit?
streaming sites like Aniwave
Oh so nothing changes for me, gotchu. They could've been clearer in the title.
