Piracy used to be about providing the best possible quality. With popularity the quality got watered down.

Do you think that has to do with popularity though or a shifting attitude towards piracy?

I feel like there's a lot of people who treat it like they would with streaming. Downloading the newest episode or season of a show and deleting it almost immediately. They don't feel the need to store it for later.

People do keep stuff might be limited by their storage. A 1TB portable HDD can be great but if you are downloading entire shows it can devour it pretty quickly.

Either way I feel like a lot of people aren't concerned about quality. They care about having immediate access to it.
