This is the main reason I always preferred running my own arrstack over paying for realdebrid. Besides mullvad VPN going out of business suddenly (which wouldn't be that hard to switch) or taking down all torrent indexes simultaneously, there is no service that can be taken down using the law that would interrupt my media consumption. And even if all torrent sites went down tomorrow, I can trivially hook back up my arrstack to a dht crawler and ill be basically fully decentralized, pulling infohashes from the ether and downloading using purely P2P technologies with no (practical) central point of failure.
- Usenet still works well enough too and doesn’t require a VPN. Bit of a pain to get into but that’s probably the best thing it has going for it. Every easily available source seems to be closing these days.
  
  Doesn't usenet usually cost money too though? I see them as about equivalent, it's just that I already need a VPN to access certain porn sites in my state so I might as well use the same subscription and torrent for free instead of adding another cost.
Oh wonderful, I renewed my 6 month subscription last night...
- You can still get your money back for it if you payed with a card, it's not like RD will be useful again. Might as well reclaim the money you just spent on it.
- Fuck me, same
Well that sucks. Wonder what the long term implications are. So far everything still seems to be working for me, but I only tested a couple shows.
