I am really disappointed in the current Reddit r/Piracy community. Reddit is horrendous, but seems like that community is extremely ignorant about the actual condition. They don't deserve any of the good things.

they're the folks who hit n run anyway. I guarantee not one of those bootlickers is seeding

genuine question: is it fine to seed to only 0.5 ratio if I live in a developing country with limited internet, or should I still seed to 1 ratio?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

If you can then yes, otherwise just seed to your heart content. Most people aren't even seed. Or better, don't seed already well-seeded torrents, seed torrent with few seeders

If you've seen the questions they ask, and the answers people give.

Nowadays they're asking the very same question (which is “why the fuck are those morons still protesting against Reddit? They've done nothing wrong!”) - without searching - every while and then. And it actually violates the latest rule of “only sexy pirate John Oliver artwork may be posted”. ;)

I feel like 90% of the questions on there anyway are just pointless if people actually read the megathread

"What is a good site for movies", "how do I torrent", "should I use a VPN" "help I've got a virus"

All questions that get repeated daily

This could be a blessing in disguise, I'd much rather be with more savvy people.

True, but piracy needs normies and new recruits to survive. The heyday of piracy was back when everyone and their mom was using limewire and the pirate bay.
