Sorry but I use a Debrid service now. No need to seed when you get direct downloads to just about any torrent you want.
I wonder who seeds those.........
Bro. You are the problem OP is ranting about.
Selfish asshole
I use a Debrid service and still go out of my way to get the torrent and seed 3-4x. The only reason I don't use the torrents directly is that Stremio is just quick and easy on the TV for now. Once I get a pi setup on my TV, I'll be torrenting and watching via that while I seed.
Debrid is easy and convenient. That's it. However, I'm not a fan of Debrid, nor am I a fan of private tracker sites. Making something a paid service or a closed group invite only is, by definition, the complete opposite of what piracy is supposed to stand for. Leave that shit to capitalism, imo.
Basically, private and paid anything is for the birds, man. I'm still out here torrenting on public like a real buccaneer. Do I pay for a VPN? Yes. Its a necessity, especially if I want to open a port and make sure every peer can get to me. Other than that, I don't want to pay for shit. The only payment I condone is seeding.
