If piracy is moral and ethical and enables us to share knowledge, why do private trackers gatekeep this knowledge? It goes against the principles of piracy. Do they do it just to feel superior about bring in a sekrit club?

Sure, but with free alternative s in piracy, then paying for it again (however little) is taking steps direction streamingservices...

Why would one pay for pirated stuff (to people that didn't even do any effort in creating the content or even in doing the pirating, nb), while it's also freely available through different means that are just as easy and capable of being automated? 🤔

Anyway, the above is not arguing , the above is a genuine question.

Ease of access I imagine... go to one place, find what you were searching for, have great downspeed - all in very little time/with very little effort.

Again: That's just hearsay - I'm a lowly plebs who torrents.
