Just a lot of stuff. TV Shows/Series take up by far the most space. For example, just the Simpsons in 1080p (h264) takes over 500GB.
Do you actually watch all of the stuff you download, or is it more like a digital hoard?
No, that would be literally impossible. The total of playtime of what I downloaded in the last year is over 1 year and 7 months (+5 months if you include music).
So the majority is just ... archiving.
Why?
Everybody needs a hobby.
Creating a legacy, eh. Keep doing the good work.
