Not necessarily. For example, I know RAR is a bit out of style, but WinRAR just this week had some articles about malware lurking in otherwise non-executable files
There is no such thing as 'safe' user-generated content, only a spectrum of more or less safe content.
Who the actual fuck still uses winrar?
Enough people that the dude is still actively supporting and updating it for new OS versions. The RAR is unkillable.
I only recently stopped using it. And a lot of content on the internet, expecially ones for download use rar part files to split it up and host freely.
You can just use 7zip tho
