I agree. It’s one of my favourite websites. Not just for the torrents but the community is really great too. The book clubs are super neat too!

The problem is that’s basically what billionaires do, though. They take out loans with their shares as collateral. So on paper they have huge debt, but it’s minuscule compared to their wealth.
But capital gains only execute when you sell.
How does that work when the super rich don’t pay any taxes to begin with? How do you tax wealth? How do you tax loans against shares?
Oh wow. Well now I know which vr headset I will buy!
If you’re not concerned with size you could use makemkv and remux the video files. It’s quite fast.
I don’t like this either but that’s not what enshittification means.
Alternative to what? Firefox?
Volume down button. Maybe volume up, too?
Wouldn’t his answer just be “no”?
I think it depends on why you pirate. Are you doing it because you don’t want to pay? Then services like usenet and private trackers, where there is some expectation of payment (be it monetary or bandwidth) are probably not for you.
Do you pirate because you hate DRM and want to self host a robust media library that you can curate without fear of media being removed because of an expired license or something? Then you might be more into private trackers and Usenet. I spend almost as much on hard drives and Usenet subscriptions and PT donations as a Netflix account.
