I saw it a bit of time ago.. how safe it is? The access is not centralized, but the data it gets in it is, right? Or it is a service in the same webserver the one that does the scraping?

Will look into it when I got time... always is docker, jeez...

So, I've tried to get into torrentgalaxy to get some stuff and on the top of the website there's this message:

|NEWSFLASH| Adblock is actively breaking site features again, disable when experiencing any issues.

Trying to find a torrent (Firefox, uBlock origin just updated) leads to results without names and figuring out how to get into the actual page of a given torrent leads to the page without the download torrent/get magnet link links.

I've tested with a browser without adblock and lo an behold, the issues are gone, but the site is obviously unusable.

Am I the only one experiencing this? There's no honor among pirates? Any other alternative?

I don't get why the "not surprising" way to react when you are losing subscribers is rising prices so more subscribers gtfo.

Come on, you are FUCKING DISNEY. Get everything up to 50's/60's for free and make some plan to have limited free streaming of this or that movie (call it "disney watching parties" or something like that, make it be available during a same slot of time, put some hashtags and let people give you free publicity) so you can attract customers.

Then offer everything else you got for money and you are set. For life. You are Disney, for fuck's sake.

/r/piracy has become /r/piracymemes. The first actually useful thread since the new mods took over and they close it. It's pretty clear what they are doing with the sub.
