I was hoping that it's some kind of piratey alternative to Netflix.

I've stopped pirating more than a decade ago but streaming and "buying" content is getting worse and worse.

Now I'm just downloading older movies from YouTube and similar services or look it up on archive.org.

Pirating was quite simple in the olden donkey / emule / kazaar etc times. BitTorrent was simple at the beginning as well. Now it seems to be done via invite only forums and special rules and quotas.

IRC seemed complicated as well and I can't bring myself to ever look into usenet because to me it was my first "social media" and it breaks my heart to see what it turned into.

Also it's super weird because it's not meant for this purpose. It's like using twitter to share base64 encoded warez. It kinda works but it's not meant for it.

There's still tons of content available on public trackers. Just be sure to use a VPN so you don't get nasty letters from your ISP. It's not hard, just connect to the VPN and bind your torrent client to the VPN interface.
