For too long imo, piracy had become a “grab it all” environment. The old “Caring is Sharing” mantra seems to have disappeared. So maybe, this Lemmy could revert back 20-30 years to become a real sharing community. IDK.

Yep. Once the RIAA proved that suing individual pirates for ridiculous amounts of money over one song did nothing to stop piracy, they finally changed gears: go after the people leaking the albums, the original upload groups, etc.
Governments, watchdog groups, and industry “concerns” followed suit, so eventually everyone learned that if you weren’t a part of a group, you were probably (reasonably) safe. Then they started monitoring swarms on public trackers and sending those DMCA notices en masse, but that again proved how ineffective those scare tactics were. Most people switched to private trackers to avoid that annoyance, and pirates pivoted yet again.
Seeding wasn’t the only risk. Just being in the swarm – whether uploading or downloading – is enough to trigger a DMCA complaint. And the way BitTorrent works, you’re pretty much always seeding even if the file isn’t done downloading, so downloading and not seeding wasn’t enough.
VPNs are a great shield against those fishing complaints, but you wanna make sure to use one that has had to prove in court that they never keep logs. A lot of them say they don’t keep logs, but happily and quietly comply to subpoenas with whatever they have on customers.

So, can you find more content on private trackers, then? If I search there will I finally be able to find Sudigadu with english subtitles?

iirc I clicked the submit button once and it gave me a loading circle for a few hours and I left the tab open and did something else. Definitely didn’t click the submit button more than 5 times, pretty sure I only did it once or twice. I think the issue is more likely some kind of built-in retry mechanism in the javascript code.
Oh, yes. Between PassThePopcorn and BroadcasTheNet, I’ve never not found a movie or show I was looking for. It’s not always a guarantee, especially for more niche movies/shows, but those two have never let me down.
For everything else, I usually use more general purpose trackers like TorrentLeech or AlphaRatio.
My question is always the same, how the heck do you get an invitation for these sites?
