I've been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I'd imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I'd be starting over.

Depends on your hardware.

Streaming is more accessible, but you’re stuck at 720p usually.

If you can afford a vpn and the storage then torrenting gets you better quality.

Don’t forget to seed

They have three recommended as of now. Only proton is listed as supporting port forwarding, which you need to be a seeder for the torrent swarm. Without port forwarding you’re stuck as a leecher
