You can get Usenet very cheap. I pay $6/month (less than my VPN for torrents), but there are cheaper options available. And it's worth every penny. Downloads are much faster, more content is available, no dead links, no share ratios to worry about, no VPN needed, the list goes on.
It does feel kinda silly paying money to pirate, but you get over that as soon as you start using it.
I dunno, my torrents are never corrupted or missing either abd download full speed for free. I see everything I want minutes after it airs, with FileBot sutomatically sorting everything for free all I need to do is open Kodi on my AndroidTV and select what I want to watch...
I see no need or afvantage of changing that to anything that costs me money to get the exact same result... 🤷♂️
I think it's just peopke that did pay justifying themselves to themselves after the fact. There is no real advantage at all...
