What baffles me is why anyone still uses torrents when we have Usenet and Debrid services. Why wait for seeds, when you can just get a direct download of the exact same content at your internet connection’s maximum download speed?
I don’t think the vast majority of torrent users are waiting for seeds, they’re just grabbing current popular stuff with a zillion seeders that finishes downloading within a few minutes.
But it’s worth it, because having Debrid/Usenet allows you to steam anything you want instantly. Can’t do that with torrents unless the file is heavily seeded. Meanwhile I can stream anything I want at anytime. For me that alone is worth the cost. Plus like the other person said, you could spend hundreds on multiple steaming services, or you could spend $3-10/mo and watch anything you want in a single app like Stremio or Nuvio.

It costs, but it costs a fraction of what you’d pay for subscriptions, and it’s safer than torrents overall
