I feel like lately I’ve been doing more piracy than actually using the content I’ve been pirating. Curating a library has been so enjoyable lately, I’m not the only one right?

I don’t watch half the shit I download.

I do always think about a scenario where the internet goes down for one reason or another. I’ve got houuuuuurs of content to keep me busy.

I can only think of one scenario where the internet would be shut down and that would be during a blackout sadly.

Bet it happens for political reasons. First rule of suppressing revolutions is to cut communications.

lol, have you got all your batteries and inverters setup lol. In all seriousness, I used to hoard, but it’s too much hassle, I’ve got too big a backlog of stuff to organise, and yeah I’ll just redownload stuff I know is popular enough to remain available. I do like watching my ratios though, making sure I’m doing my bit to keep the water flowing. Data in transit as storage. Treating torrents as a form of ephemeral storage, where it can come back to me if I wish for it again. Perhaps I’m describing something more like IPFS though.

Lmfao yes. I love curating my collection, even if I don’t end up watching something for a loooong time.

Usually spend way more time curating than actually watching

I really like watching big number go up (almost maxed on osrs), so piling on more and more cool stuff for the hoard really activates the neurons. The thought of one day having something that someone wants/needs seems so fun to me.

Exactly, I love to imagine some far off time when a friend says “hey remember that game/show/movie we talked about years ago? I can’t find it on any streaming site” and I can just smugly say “I’ve gotchu”
