Reddit’s algorithm has slowly deprioritized text-based content over time. I moderate a large discussion sub and our view counts have slowly declined over the past ten years, with the biggest drop happening when the redesign released. Discussion did happen on /r/piracy, but you had to go to the subreddit and sort by new.

Same here. YIFY torrents were just a gateway drug to 4k HDR blurays.

I think a lot of us are in the same boat. The early days of Spotify and Netflix killed piracy for me.

I imagine most people are like me and have an old account and communities they like.

It's similar to why people don't e.g. flee states like Florida.

It's kinda dumb, but I get the feeling. They should just realize they can use both sites

I'd honestly be willing to spend $30-$60 a month for 2012 netflix. It's the content loss that really killed things for me. Stupid-ass copyright holders.

The only way to be certain is to reverse the process then run a hash check on the file to see if it's the same as the original file

True, but piracy needs normies and new recruits to survive. The heyday of piracy was back when everyone and their mom was using limewire and the pirate bay.

Command & Conquer was like that for me. I pirated Red Alert 2, but ended up buying it like six times via various collections. None of that would have happened had I not had that first pirated copy.

YouTube. I more than get my money’s worth from it.

Remux is lossless usually so it's the closest to blu-ray

I think the original implementation of copyright was fine

Smart. Far too many forums of old failed to keep a buffer and ended up dying when a temporary cost explosion happened. Thank you for your work o7

I need a sticker of this. You mind if I make one for myself?

I wouldn’t steal from another pirate. That’s just uncivilized

It's fine for movies, music, etc, but it's sketchy for software
