I seem to have more than a handful that still work without issues. I only need my private trackers to fins old or special things. Anything recently released is readily available and sonarr/radarr finds it.
Usenet is the way but I’ve never witnessed someone who torrents see the light in a penny comment thread. Few people truly understand opsec and how to quantify their own risk surface, but those who do will gravitate towards Usenet.
Speed is also a factor. Casuals don’t understand what it is to grab a release before a torrent has found the first seeder.
Many don’t know about usenet. When you only download using torrents and don’t know anything else, you might look into it after reading something about it here. It’s how I found sonarr and radarr, by reading about it on reddit.
About the speed: Oh, that’s such a difference. I download with roughly 100MB/s constantly, which is the max write speed of my drives (1000mb/s connection). I’ve never reached anything like that with torrents.
New movie? Sure. Let’s download the 46GB version. 10min later and it’s downloaded, extracted, renamed, put in the right folder, added to Kodi ready to watch, including subtitles.
Who uses torrents when there is usenet, sonarr and radarr.
Sonarr and radarr works just as well with torrents.
There’s just very few public trackers that work anymore.

Don’t use public trackers.
Unless you’re on your neighbor’s WiFi
im lazy and don’t wanna pay for usenet, torrents are great
Seriously, private trackers work great, are free, and are simpler to use.

To me usenet is a no-brainer.
