The only people in the chat seem to be the most racist, homophobic, sexist scumbags. It's like walking into a 4chan convention.. is that you guys? Why is it as soon as anonymity is there, the fucking assholes come out?
If this is the general spirit of piracy, I don't know if I'm interested
i don't go into the chat rooms, but i get about one dm a week from some rando or another who's downloaded something from me thanking me for having whatever shit from 30 years ago they haven't heard in forever, it's honestly been a pretty positive experience overall for me.
like this lad last night
I always thank folks for obscure shit, and then add them to my friends list, open up my whole media library to them, and put them on a priority download list in exchange.
I generally only share music because I have slow upload speeds but I make exceptions for people I am grabbing media from
Did that a few times as well.
Hope it feels rewarding :)
