Fresh data for 2024 reveals that while overall pirate site traffic dipped to 216 billion visits, the landscape is shifting dramatically. Publishing piracy is booming, largely driven by an insatiable global demand for manga. In stark contrast, both music and film piracy have tanked. Despite these changes, the United States remains the top traffic source for pirate sites.

The last movie I watched in a theater was Top Gun Maverick.

Not judging your tastes, as I personally enjoy this type of movie as well, but a basic-ass action flick sequel that is nothing but a thinly veiled military propaganda piece with the bare minimum amount of plot needed to glue together a bunch of cool action sequences is your bar for "good enough to see in theaters", yet you claim you haven't gone in 3 years because the new movies aren't any good anymore?

Something isn't adding up here...
