Usenet is the way but I've never witnessed someone who torrents see the light in a penny comment thread. Few people truly understand opsec and how to quantify their own risk surface, but those who do will gravitate towards Usenet.

Speed is also a factor. Casuals don't understand what it is to grab a release before a torrent has found the first seeder.

Many don't know about usenet. When you only download using torrents and don't know anything else, you might look into it after reading something about it here. It's how I found sonarr and radarr, by reading about it on reddit.

About the speed: Oh, that's such a difference. I download with roughly 100MB/s constantly, which is the max write speed of my drives (1000mb/s connection). I've never reached anything like that with torrents.

New movie? Sure. Let's download the 46GB version. 10min later and it's downloaded, extracted, renamed, put in the right folder, added to Kodi ready to watch, including subtitles.

To me usenet is a no-brainer.
