I'm not on Usenet, but what you need to consider is that you will pay a really small sum compared to what you can find (and then download at a high speed). Your comparison to streaming services is therefore inaccurate (because there you're going to find only a very limited amount of content at a higher price).
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.
