Remember when you could pay for a game once that you then owned and could play unchanged forever?

No, I remember people playing those games and demanding more of those games with more features and the market responding accordingly.

I know torrents still exist, but it really feels like a technology of the past. Like you're getting stuff off Kazaa or something.

yeah but it's just how the streaming internet works except with a usable file at the end

Serious. I wish we could go back to a time when not everything was a transaction and/or purely motivated by profit.

Before websites, there were Usenet Newsgroups. You'd post a message to a topic group like alt.sex.stories.moderated and it would be replicated across various news servers for everyone across the globe to enjoy, much like our posts.

Then someone figured out that you could take files like music or movies, and chunk their data into smaller numbered parts to post as messages (1 out of 900, 2 out of 900, etc), and people could use programs to download all those messages in bulk and reassemble them into a complete file. Those are referred to as Binaries.

These are all still in use today. Instead of telling a Plex/Sonarr server to download content from torrents, you could instead pay for access to a newsgroup server which run around between $5-10 per month and Sonarr will fetch the content from there. There's generally no need to use a VPN with these as most newsgroup servers don't keep logs of what anyone downloads. It also has the advantage of everything downloading ludicrously fast (my friend's gigabit fiber can pretty much max out) so you don't have to deal with say a torrent with poor seeds.

are you subsidizing your slumlording with influencer advertising
