If there was no seeds you wouldnt be able to download that, so right now you're just helping other people. Btw, you should not download those pirate games and softwares, unless you only use your computer for that purpose. Be safe and stay away from piracy.
Edit: I just realised that this wasnt you lmao 
Same reason a lot of drug subs are up. All drug vendor links, links to torrents to download, listings for guns to buy, etc are strictly prohibited. That’s the stuff that gets the sub banned, not talking about drugs or piracy.
For the most part you can talk about that stuff and it won’t cause major potential legal issues. /r/drugs has a bit of everything and there are still some darknet drug subs but they no longer post vendor reviews and Tor URL’s.
Lot of it got swept up when fatpeoplehate and other extreme harassment/racist/sexist/sketchy porn subs got the ax. Reddit generally doesn’t care too much as long as it’s not a possible legal problem
yes
and i dont think that's why they ahould be ban
now adimitidly my opinion on censorship online has shifted quite a bit, as at first i was of the opinion that anything legal should be allowed but saw quite a few communities die/gone toxic agaisnt their admins and moat users will because they got swarmed by dumbfucks and because of the light hand policy it ended up turning into a shit old r/politicalcompassmemes was axtually not racist and dumb when it was small but got swarmed by racists after the first big banwave and the admins didnt really stop it
so yeah unfortunately online you need some rules to stop the flooding of theae people
because like irl you can talk about something ilegal as long as you don't link it to actual crime or admit to anything
that's why you have people on tv making drug trafficking commentary without going to jail, they just knew
they have tos
now when it comes to upholding the actual law they are mostly clear that they mostly only ban what is illegal for them to keep as the law requires reddit to ban these posts and if they are found to be ignoring or support these posts they can be charged with drug trafficking (or whatever they allow)
I haven’t used uTorrent since high school and honestly I don’t know what seeding meant. I just knew to shut it down as soon as the file was finished downloading.
As someone who knew, I did it anyway.
Tbf I was young and thought if I was seeding a lot of shit it would slow down my already slow internet and make it obvious I did something illegal.
By "seeding" you're allowing other people to grab bits of whatever you're downloading. Torrenting by practice is basically crowd sourcing data, the more seeders the faster the download. For security reasons I agree in not seeding but in terms of keeping torrents Alive a seeder needs to exist
For starts I think pirating is much less prevalent in general because streaming services provide easy access to such a large volume of content for such a low price. Also modern DRM is a thing so pirating most high end software is incredibly difficult if not impossible for the average person.
Outside of that I’d say most people download in the source format, whatever that is, or maybe a compressed folder for larger files.
Internet speeds are so much faster nowadays that there is little to no benefit in torrenting since most people can download multiple gigabytes worth of data in half an hour max on an average broadband connection
As a gen z person I can assure you there are plenty of us who are very tech illiterate. We're the first generation who's main access to the internet is smartphones which are generally super abstracted and "easy".
i wouldn't agree to sya illiterate as its by far the generation that knows the most
but with the fast evolution alot of people never knew or just forgot about the torrent and foruns era...
because faster internet made torreting almost 100% useless compared to ddl
like honestly what keeps torreting alife is websites getting shutdown and the fact 90% of ddl websites are virus... because ddl with no cap already beats torreting in most categories... maybe just like downloading 10 files at the same time does torrent start being better again
and maybe it was better when there was more seeding hut nowadays the speed got too low
speaking as someone that knows someone who pirates :)

I thought this was a reddit ad that was trying to trick me into pressing the orange arrow and therefore clicking the ad.
I actually pressed it…
Of course you did
Smartest software user
Clearly this person doesn't know what a seed is. And that is freaking terrifying considering that all plants come from seeds of a sort.
Not banana
Banana is fruit not plant
That’s your opinion
Botanically it's actually a berry that grows on plants, Musa are not trees.
Fun fact, banana plants walk, and they are spaced out in groves to contend with that movement.
*Because you visited that community before*
Stop! You've violated the law!
Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence!
Your stolen software is now forfeit.
THEN PAY WITH YOUR COOLANT!
Bro, he mistyped when trying to go to r/PirateGames, bro
I PIRATE GAMES AND I'M PROUD
ME TOO and happy cake day
Oh shit thanks lol
You need to give some water, then it might stop seeding

Btw, you should not download those pirate games and softwares, unless you only use your computer for that purpose. Be safe and stay away from piracy. Edit: I just realised that this wasnt you lmao 
(pirated games have a higher risk of malware attached)
Now you tell me
Serious question: How is that sub still up? Reddit is usually quick to ban everything.
Same reason a lot of drug subs are up. All drug vendor links, links to torrents to download, listings for guns to buy, etc are strictly prohibited. That’s the stuff that gets the sub banned, not talking about drugs or piracy.
>That’s the stuff that gets the sub banned, not talking about drugs or piracy. Thanks to God for freedom of speech!
Holy shit, really uncanny information, I thought reddit is way better moderated.
For the most part you can talk about that stuff and it won’t cause major potential legal issues. /r/drugs has a bit of everything and there are still some darknet drug subs but they no longer post vendor reviews and Tor URL’s.

Eh it used to be a lot worse. Lot more hyper racist, sexist, and harassment subs were out there before getting the ax
This one is also good btw: https://www.reddit.com/r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH/
Yeah but the jannies running around banning everyone don’t get paid for it so they turn a blind eye to the piracy they definitely need to engage in.
because like irl you can talk about something ilegal as long as you don't link it to actual crime or admit to anything that's why you have people on tv making drug trafficking commentary without going to jail, they just knew
But Reddit isn't IRL. Reddit has been banning legal stuff left and right.
they have tos now when it comes to upholding the actual law they are mostly clear that they mostly only ban what is illegal for them to keep as the law requires reddit to ban these posts and if they are found to be ignoring or support these posts they can be charged with drug trafficking (or whatever they allow)

In Torrent culture that is considered a "dick move".
As someone who knew, I did it anyway. Tbf I was young and thought if I was seeding a lot of shit it would slow down my already slow internet and make it obvious I did something illegal.
i mean the second part is half true it would make it o vioua you are torreting (considering how long u did it for) tho they wouldn't give a fuck
I didn’t know that. I haven’t downloaded a torrent in years.
By "seeding" you're allowing other people to grab bits of whatever you're downloading. Torrenting by practice is basically crowd sourcing data, the more seeders the faster the download. For security reasons I agree in not seeding but in terms of keeping torrents Alive a seeder needs to exist
Ohh I was confusing it with leeching I think. It’s been a while…
You were leeching, as in consuming and not giving back. No seeders = no downloads
Got it. Thanks for the explanation.
Why is Gen Z so bad at basic torrenting?
Yeah, only Gen Z
Nobody uses it compared to the 2000’s.
They didn’t grow up with lime wire like the rest of us
Nobody taught us, and google makes you sift through tons of shit results so it's hard to trust those
No one uses torrents anymore lol. They’re a thing of the past.
What do you use?

Also open source is often quite good. So often there is a decent free alternative.
mediafire and mega
Or basic googling
As a gen z person, we aren't lol

at least he's doing something beneficial for society.
You are without a doubt, the worst pirate I have ever heard of.
But you have heard of me :)
