I didn't really consider that. Having no computer other than a phone is pretty crazy

YIFY also uses "HD". So does YT. Doesn't make it good though, unless you're watching on your phone or something.

Huh? I use ublock origin, sponsorblock, privacy badger, etc etc. but that's for browsing the web and YT. Not watching movies and TV shows which is what torrenting is for. I'm from a piracy instance and that's precisely why I know to do that rather than watch some dodgy "illegal online streams" site?

WiFi is local and still connects to your ISPs

Talk about it being hard to decipher comments, what do you even mean by this?

If you use someone else's WiFi then it will connect to their ISP with their account details and should any trouble occur it will go back to them, not back to you.

when the authorities request your personal data based on your IP.

Obviously don't hack the planet that way unless you're being 7 proxies as the cool kids used to say but for piracy or small dnm buys it's nothing.

you're just condescending and not saying anything actually useful.

Odd, I literally explained how to overcome all the issues thus far. Maybe you don't want to hear it idk why even keep replying then.

Just because you see no reason to use it, others do. If they found a reason then it doesn’t matter whether you see a reason or not. As long as they do.

No that's not really how it works? There is either a reason or there isn't, I'm trying to find out what it is, idk why you're being so nasty bro but I don't need this shit

Huh? Where did I attack anyone, nevermind spread misinfo?

Okay that makes sense actually, I forgot US has limited data on their main internet connections.

Huh? No I am not agitated or offended.

Yeah, I’m just saying there’s always a reason one might use a site instead of torrenting.

And I haven't seen one yet is the thing.

I only mentioned a VPN because that’s usually the case (at least in Europe like Germany and The Netherlands) and I assume also US?

Idk tbf, not needed in the UK.

Nah I saw people in my uni back like 2017 streaming to their iPads with ads taking up half the screen. It's the "listen to music on YouTube on school computer when your phone or MP3 player or PSP is right there" of millennial shit.

Yeah fair but we are on Lemmy. I hope no one is streaming or downloading YIFY or some shit thinking it's peak. I mean they can if they choose to but shouldn't need to with such a cool community at their disposal.

In like 144p with ads. Obviously I kid with that above setup that zoomers (and I) love, you can just torrent with qbittorrent and watch in VLC like long before video streaming. Ez pz.
