When Is it Time to Look Into Private Trackers or Usenet? (lemm.ee)

So far, public trackers have been working fine for me, but think I've finally run into some niche shows that have been hard to find or only been able to find individual episodes instead of a single collected season torrent. (Nothing too special, just some baking shows.)

I'm wondering if it's finally time to look into private trackers or Usenet.

If you use them, what did it take for you to finally look into these more time or effort intensive piracy options?

A movie you wanted to see that was too old to be seeded on public trackers? TV shows too old or niche? A game, an obscure music artist? Something else? Was it just curiosity? Or something you did immediately upon getting into piracy? I'm just curious myself lol.

I like private trackers for music because what I’m looking for is niche and I’m a lossless whore. I like private trackers for movies/TV because I don’t have to use a VPN and I can find remuxes or tiny X265 rips to fill my Plex server with. I can’t remember the last time I used a public tracker.

Which tracker(s) do you use for music? I'm looking into ditching $potify

Redacted. Frankly though Bandcamp has most of what I want and I don’t mind paying if it’s reasonable. I only turn to RED when I can’t find it on BC. Movies and TV though I’m 100% pirating regardless.
