Usenet is awesome, but the fact that you have to pay for Usenet access defeats the main purpose of pirating for a lot of people.

I imagine a lot of Gen Z kids feel the same about it at this point in their lives.

And, you don’t kill torrents if you use the usenet instead of leaching (e.g. because seeding is illegal in your country but leaching is allowed)
