I stopped using it because I figured if everyone did this and stopped sharing torrents, neither would work
It's kinda selfish
I read a comment somewhere that Stremio uploads like a normal client. Just a comment oc, but it should be easy to check for a network savvy reader. It may be that the plugin does it, dunno.
It does when you're watching. I have sys monitor widgets with rainmeter on my PC and whenever I'm watching something, it cpu is at least 5 or so degrees hotter and there's 5 mb + network activity on the upload. You can check yourself on system monitor.
The LARPers on c/Piracy are finally taking a break from shouting 'high seas' and discovering the tragedy of the commons!
The so-called "tragedy of the commons" is an invention out of nowhere by a white supremacist
We're talking about P2P networks bro, not land management. Pouncing on the term like a bot would, simply to post that link, is just sloppy.
Maybe using the term was sloppy also?
It's a commons, it's the same principle
A great read. Thanks!
It can be a reductive approach if you look at the world exclusively through those glasses, but the effect the expression alludes to exists in very specific circumstances e.g. street cleaning, overfishing, pollution. It's like saying overpopulation is not a thing because that social darwinist Malthus was the first to refer to it.
Bad example. Malthus was wrong and only kept getting more wrong as time passed
I'm comparing Malthus' overpopulation to a white supremacist who supposedly invented the tragedy of commons. Sounds similar. Overpopulation can happen in some societies e.g. Easter Island, but is not everywhere the cause of most ills.
I started using it since I filled up my NAS and couldn't keep hoarding stuff for my arr stack and Plex.
To be fair I always seed at least at a 2 ratio, and when I use Stremio (or Kodi) I use them through a Real Debrid account.
