Usenet is the way but I’ve never witnessed someone who torrents see the light in a penny comment thread. Few people truly understand opsec and how to quantify their own risk surface, but those who do will gravitate towards Usenet.
Speed is also a factor. Casuals don’t understand what it is to grab a release before a torrent has found the first seeder.
Now that everyone knows these exist they have to do a couple obvious fakes to draw away attention away from the insidious ones.
