I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

    Yes but with usenet you need to pay a monthly fee for a provider (generally) and a then the same for an index to find the content.

    Also the selection is a lot smaller. IMHO a better solution is using realdebrid if you’re okay with paying already.

      Yeah I can’t argue with the usenet fees but all three of my index sites I’ve had no issues with their free version so long as you do go wild and download ten terabytes in a night. I’ve actually had better luck with the selection compared to torrenting, pretty much is there in all of the popular resolutions. The only thing I have finding is some of the obscure adult swim shows but I can’t find them on my private trackers either.
