I have a suspicion that they have a virus that they want to spread and protect themselves from

This is a sad day

It will be a dark day for piracy...

Luckily, libgen and sci hub are not based there

tbf the internet is going to consist mostly of 3 things in the future:

  • propaganda
  • scientific information
  • funny cat videos

So I guess it's not really a surprise that this is happening.

You mean the clearnet and you put advertising under propaganda, which is fair, but advertising I feel is a distinctly heinous thing we could hate all on its own!

Tell me you use an ad blocker without telling me.

The worst (to me, anyway) part is that a LOT of pirate stuff will disappear if the russian internet gets gated

Any good starting point or worthwhile server that can be recommended? I don't mind paying, I'm paying more for the arr than for any of the subscriptions, I just dont want to have to deal with the media company bullshit anymore

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I have been using Frugal and nzbGeek for years and have no complaints.

Gotta pay for access to any worthwhile server

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

True, but it’s super cheap. I pay less for a year of Usenet and indexer than I’d pay for 2 months of basic cable or just about any streaming service.

Yeah - and I'm Dolly Parton. Everything that Russian press puts out is lies. There are only two reasons why Russia isn't an abandoned strip mall: Oil and the Internet.
