That's the spirit buccaneer. There's always endless loot to go around and spirit to go with it.

What truthfully strikes me as odd is that there are 10s of thousands of us mateys out here and no one considers the fact that a few of us are no doubt capable of starting our own group.
Nothing is permanent in this world. Every site/tracker/etc will eventually go down, others will come up. We live in a time where computer/development knowledge is hugely available on the internet. Oh also...you can pirate that knowledge, friends ๐ ๐ฆ.
I guess what I'm saying is...we have the technology. More than ever. UI/UX, web hosting, and development knowledge is more affordable/available than ever. Are you young? Don't have a job/hate your job? Have some applicable tech skills? Want to make money and quit the 9-5 (yes there's actually a shit ton of money in it, either via ads or other methods, people who run groups can live off of it very well in many cases). Well there you go. Get together and start it up. No easy task to reach RARBG's size on day one but you start small and things grow. Build your empire.
Now, I actually like my job. But again, there's in all, tens of millions of people out there globally who are pirates and tend to be nerdy. You're telling me something better won't come up? Someone will make it. Could be you. Just depends: do you have a vision, do you want the money, are you inspired to share knowledge/content with others and carry the torch of piracy out across the high seas?
My question isn't "What will I do now?". Piracy sites have continued and continued over time. My question is, what's coming next?
I agree fully except with the mirror aspect. Mirroring is what tends to cause the dissolution of alternatives like Lemmy. It makes it too convenient and a target by bigger powers. It is federated but that doesn't mean it's invincible. It would be smart to keep it separate and try to let it become its own thing. Grassroots promotion may be the way to go. I mean, I agree, mirroring would be nice and convenient, but we have to be smart and use tact as well.
We have something wonderful here. Let's keep it going long and strong! ๐
