Me seeding the entire Ghibli movie collection vs me seeding Future Boy Conan.
Insane how Miyazaki is universally loved and yet so few even know about that show. It’s like people loving David Lynch’s films without ever having heard of Twin Peaks.
The thing with piracy is there are always so many duplicates. For every piece of media, there may be a hundred different torrents for it with varying popularity. People might be obtaining Future Boy Conan from a torrent different from the one you’re seeding.
A couple of months ago I downloaded a 1970/80s movie that was so obscure only private trackers had it. I am virtually the only seeder, my radio is currently 1.8 which is the highest I have. (Might not be high for others, but I just download 10yo tv shows that have soo many seeders they dont do much)
About once every couple years someone downloads the rare stuff I have. It’s not like some secretive movie or anything, mainly just really hard to find drumming videos or the 39 seasons of cops I downloaded that don’t exist in any physical media format.
I don’t even like cops anymore, but I love being the only seeder. Makes me feel good to help other people out.
I wanted to watch Well-Founded Fear (2000) on immigration in the US. As far as I can tell, you can only get it by purchase on Vimeo. $12 to rent. $150 to buy. It’s too obscure to have a torrent.
I never take out my JAV from my seeds, and I love seeing the odd download here and there. I wish I could find more rare stuff in the wild because it’s been years I’ve part of a private tracker and I don’t much like the whole concept :/
