Someone needs to create a page about how to help and contribute to piracy communities. (sh.itjust.works)

I think there is a deep need for someone to create a page listing all the ways someone can help seperated by the media type.

The previous generations of pirates who contribute is becoming too old to sustain, we need a new generation of pirates to keep piracy going for more time.

All the guides are for lurkers but there is no guides/ pages for providers.

To be honest, this post seems very ignorant of the entire scene.

How do you know where to go? You run in techie circles and online groups. You look for ways to apply to different trackers. This isn’t hidden info.

You act like piracy is one big library that needs shoring up in specific places. It doesn’t really work like that. Find a few communities you like, download content from them that you like, seed forever.

After you have built a big library of things you are seeding, maybe volunteer for a low level staff position.

But the basic take away is that piracy is fine as it is. It doesn’t need you to save it. The best thing you can do is seed and keep learning.

Torrent is not the only way to pirate. You are telling me that piracy does not need saving, I disagree.

We need people who share books, songs, movies and more and this type of people are usually collectors rather than tech nerds.

Did you check the current state of torrent piracy? I barely find seeders.

I used to see people using torrent 5 years ago, now a lot of people don't even know what is torrent sadly.

The tldr here is we need to teach the next generation how to do it, otherwise it will be forgotten.
