How do I share stuff nowadays? (self.piracy)

If this is the wrong place to post please direct me elsewhere of course.

I've been less active in torrents etc for a the last couple years so I think I'm probably out of the loop on this tbh.

I have a couple of TV series/versions of series I'd like to share occasionally but it seems so few of the public torrent sites accept submissions (or require you to be a big name or upload a certain quota per month etc), I'm not sure where to post the torrents. In the past I had anonymously uploaded at TPB but that doesn't seem to be a thing anymore.

Any advice/suggestions?

It's not just torrenting. Every user chooses what files they share, and these would be visible in search (and ranked by an internet speed transfer estimate), which makes discoverability a whole lot easier. If you want to download it, a direct transfer is initiated between that user and you computer only. You can also browse all files that a user has shared and chat with them about problems and whatnot (there also are chat rooms). Plus, since it's not really torrenting apart from the concept, your download history isn't targeted by popular tools that check out your activity on public trackers.
