This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Literally the only thing missing is full migration to H265 or AV1 with a solid bitrate.

It's still a bit inconsistent due to hardware acceleration capabilities and final file size targets.

Most torrents are too compressed or too huge.

Luckily bandwidth and storage is cheaper than ever, so going for full size quality rips is viable for many.

I mean, yeah. More or less.

Compare with the music industry, where there are a good number of streaming services, and pretty much all of them offer the same selection of music, all of it.

I don't think I know of anyone who pirates music at all.

The answer is greed. They make more being vertically integrated doing their own streaming than they would make taking a cut from a third party to host the same content.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
