Why is thepiratebay not in the megathread, despite being so much better? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Whenever thepiratebay goes down, it is a disaster for me to find anything online. The megathread is next to useless, taking me to all these crazy sites that don't have a torrent option. Instead, they have individual episode downloads of 600 episode TV series. And to access each individual episode, I have to click on a mirror that takes me elsewhere. Then, from that site, I have to click on something that takes me to another site. Then, I have to wait 10 seconds, then I have to confirm the download, then it asks me if I want to pay for premium, then it takes 30 minutes to download one episode.

I'm not actually sure what the community's goal is here. To me, it seems like the entire idea of piracy will go down if thepiratebay ever goes permanently down because this giant "community resource" we have is an utter cluster, with so much garbage shoved in it.

Outside of thepiratebay, how do you guys effectively perform any of the tasks one would want to do on a place like this?

Thanks for the post. I'm a novice at pirating too and i think i was a bit lost too. This post and the megathread helps a lot.

The most sophisticated thing i did previously was to get mullvad as a vpn
