Phones (and tablets) changed the way people use devices. It's neither better or worse imo, I use both methods.

Idk, being born in the early 2000s didn't make torrenting any harder. Dare I say, it was the opposite: in the 10s, when I got into all this this, there already was a bunch of well-established trackers with tons of content one could use without fear of downloading a piece of malware instead of a new shiny game, for example.

Wait what sites are down? Just checked the ones I normally use and they're fine?

Also, just to say, I think there's this big learning curve with torrents cause people aren't straight forward with others ask for advice (told what not to do rather than what to do) and there's also just too much fear mongering about viruses.

That's why they made streaming media. Worked good, didn't it?
