I am always surprised that even tech-savy ppl I know mostly are completely unaware of torrenting. They all use their streaming websites with tons of popups and ads and complain when they have to find a new one every now and then, I don't get why they just won't torrent even after showing them.
Edit: by streaming sites I mean pirate ones
They are not tech-savy.
They are computer science students who mess around with linux, idk how else you could call them
