Don't younger people prefer streaming and direct download pirate sites to torrenting anyway
A while ago I told a young co worker that I just download whatever tv series I want, and since then they seem to be under the impression I have hundreds of USB thumbsticks lying around for storage. I hate to generalise but they really don't seem to get anything about piracy.
"No, I have 3 4tb drives and 5 1tb drives. I mean I do have 15 sticks around but most of those have a linux distro on them and the others are for general use."
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
I'm trying to convert some of my (alarmingly) slightly younger friends to torrent trackers. So far so good
edit: and tbf slightly older people are almost as bad about streaming in my experience, so it affects everyone
