While trying to find a torrent for a show, I became curious about how others are creating the torrents I know and love. Is ripping a video from a streaming service relatively easy? Are there tools y’all would recommend?

    Interesting, I wonder why that is. I guess to stay one step ahead of the corporations trying to prevent them from succeeding? I can’t imagine it’s to prevent others from following suit. Feels like that would be a weird motivation for people saving and disseminating content.

      To stay a step ahead of other crews, I would say. It is a competition

          It is a race and being faster than your competitors means you win. It’s a game and the reward is dopamine.

          Monetization is another secret probably. Ads alone could drive millions on streaming platforms. I don’t have idea on public or private trackers, but I guess is also more than what I could win in my life xD but that’s probably me just being poor.

            Does it, are you sure? Or is it only reducing the amount of investor money they burn a little?
