Usenet and Debrid (lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz)

I have been doing torrents + VPN for years now and thinking about switching.

Is usenet and debrid safe to use without a VPN in the UK? What about other piracy streaming sites?

From what I understand it's cheaper to use a VPN than have debrid + usenet + private indexers but I am not sure.

I have heard some questionable justifications as to why it's safer such as it being encrypted (torrents can also be encrypted). Are the index sites also safe? I have heard it both ways about this. Including people saying index sites are not encrypted which they normally are.

No, since bandwidth isn't free. It's necessary to pay for usenet like it's necessary to pay an ISP and a VPN provider. Their services cost them money.
