I was searching through the megathread (https://rentry.co/megathread) and I found that yts.mx and 1337x.to are labeled as 'fake clones'. I have used both of these several times

Are yts.mx and 1337x.to considered unsafe? I have them in my prowlarr and wondering if I should remove them

Edit: I was wrong 1337x is not labeled as a fake clone, I misread the fake clone which is 1377x

Yeah, I heard that. Part of why I assume they're a honeypot. Not that I didn't use them before requiring accounts. If you tor to a honeypot with best practices, good luck tracking...
