People who pirated in the late 90s and early 00s what is the most dramatic change from then till now? And if you had the power what would you bring back?

You're viewing a single thread.
In the aughts, pirates bay felt like the library of Congress. If a single commenter on a B tier forum saw it in a guy's basement in the mid 80's there was a sure bet at least 3 people were seeding it and one of them had great upload. If it wasn't there, you had a dozen different sites with their own dedicated fans posting everything you could ever want.
Now it's maybe 6 sites, they all have the exact same listings, and the only things with seeds came out in the last year of two. It's like seeing your local library after a fire.
Private trackers.
Cinemageddon, for example, has lots of seeds on almost any worthless shitty B-movie you can think of going back to the early days of film.

I can never get a CG invite, personally, I've basically given up except for that offer in my bio to eternally curse your enemies for one (still standing btw).
Unfortunately they never do sign ups, open or interviewed, and even if they did interview I'm only on IPT, which nobody takes as proof lmao. I mostly use usenet these days unfortunately, but at least it does have it's benefits, DrunkenSlug accts are easier to come by and it is faster, and they have many things, but unfortunately lack B movies and other stuff I'm really into, but at least there's IPT, slsk, yt-dl and internetarchive for some of those.
Internet archive may not be around much longer so grab what you can.
I know, I'm not happy about that.
