Could this become a "Caring is Sharing" sub, just like the old days (lemmy.world)

For too long imo, piracy had become a "grab it all" environment. The old "Caring is Sharing" mantra seems to have disappeared. So maybe, this Lemmy could revert back 20-30 years to become a real sharing community. IDK.

Have been doing this stuff for more years than most of you have been alive, ha,ha!!

In the early days of torrents, seeding was a key feature to keep the post alive. But now it seems too many just want to download and fuck off, with absolutely no seeding back. Why is that? They just download something, then it’s fuck off to anyone else who might want to download it?

To me the basic spirit of sharing has gone. Maybe I’m just an old cunt now, but to me it’s a real shame.

I usually keep stuff to seed until 3.0 ratio or longer if I'm keeping the files. If it's just taking really long and I need the drive space at 1.0 or even earlier. That should be ok right?

I just keep things seeding until I need more space, then I'll remove things based on ratio, average upload per day, and how much I want to keep the torrent alive. For example Queen Charlotte ratio is at 81.12, I don't really like it but since a lot of people want it I'm keeping it up. Alternatively for anime it's mostly a ratio of 2-3 but because I know how few people actually seed anime I keep it up (doesn't hurt that it's only like 1 GiB per episode too). As for removals I'm probably gonna remove High On Life soon since it's pretty heavy at 35.98 GiB and only has a ratio of 4.67 after 2 weeks.

I’ll get rid of single episode anime at the end of the season because that’s when packs will take over what people download. I’ll keep seeding packs whenever I get them though.

Ah that's a good point, should probably be doing that.
