Streaming is 100x more convenient that's why.

Don't have to find compatible sub file, don't have to look for quality, don't have to worry about hardcoded subs, viruses, and the time it would take to download 6 - 30Episode seasons.

Not being about to browse content and watch the first episode to see if you like it, reading people's reactions to episode and general seasons.

Tell me why would you ever torrent if you could stream it?

🤣

Don't have to find compatible sub file

Subs are built in on downloaded files just like on streams?

don't have to look for quality

That's true with streams as there is no quality to be found, torrents are clearly labelled as to which aren't shit though

don't have to worry about hardcoded subs

Hardcoded subs haven't been a thing in decades

viruses

You're downloading video files

time it would take to download

Streams download at approx 1x, literally any other method is faster

watch the first episode to see if you like it

Just prioritize the first episode?

reading people's reactions to episode

Literally what the comments on torrent sites are for

Is this some kind of bizarro troll post I've fallen for?

Unfortunately this site is an offshoot of reddit, so basic technical competence and logical thought are rarer here than you probably expect.

Reddit was always full of web2.0 goons that don't belong.

Everything you said is a flat out lie.

No harcoded subs? Really you know every single anime torrent has 0 hardcoded subs? Erroneous

Viruses can be in video files...so you are actually a retard. Got it.

Quality: even if it says 1080 it isn't all the time

Time: takes longer, what exactly am I wrong about? Moronic

Prioritize the first episode? Still 100x easier STREAMING

you basically just replied with "nuh uh!"

What a low IQ response to objective facts about time and convenience.

Tell me you are not a child without telling me 😂

generally speaking, you just have to use a halfway decent torrent site (speaking of...is pirate bay still around? it's been a while...), and the comments will tell you before you even touch the magnet link whether it's worth your time or not.

Now, granted, you have to be able to spot legit vs bs comments (hint: you can't just see a tl;dr comment and assume it's legit, you have to actually read through it and gage the info according to the content of the text wall)

I've used torrents for over 20 years and that is just not true for 90% of torrents.

Most of the torrents I dl have zero comments or just "thanks!"

all I'm saying is dont assume a text wall is legit.

for instance, if the comments go into detail about problems with the rip, subs, etc., and there are other comments that corroborate (without being straight up copypasta), you can usually gage.

if the comments (if any) are generally favorable, it's usually a worthwhile torrent.

? Yea obviously but that's rare that people make a wall of text.

What's your point?

I think you dont understand mine...I said most torrents do not have comments.

And you responded with something besides my point so I'm confused. .I never even implied I assume comments are ALL legit. Just that they can be helpful

You don't have to buffer and can seek around instantly.

? You have to find and download a torrent, I just click play and I never buffer....

If you have shitty internet then torrent is superior, if everything works fine then streaming is superior.

What's hard to understand?
