Usenet these days doesn’t consume a lot of bandwidth so I don’t see why there’s so much need for utilities around it, paid hosting providers with high data caps, etc. Eternal September is quite needs suiting. I do sometime feel a bit nostalgic for the days where my news and mail all exchanged via scheduled UUCP dial-out to a guy running a mid-tier node. Store and forward was great, it meant people didn’t expect responses instantly.

Why would anyone get DMCA’d for reading or posting on Usenet? And what the hell would anyone post where bandwidth mattered so much? I get that a full feed might require a T1 but the most a leaf node should ever need is a Trailblazer.

this all seems like a lot of work to read Usenet like all you should need is a newsreader, it’s just text

That sounds like an awful lot of discussion about computers, math, physics, and Babylon 5.
