If you buy the book but listen to it as an audiobook, wouldn't buying the audiobook in the first place be an option then?

The article you linked answers most of your questions.

1. Relative global upstream traffic went down, but not due to other file-sharing protocols but entirely different applications
2. I2P is not mentioned anywhere in the article, nor any other sharing alternative
3. VPN is mentioned as a potential reason for not being able to identify torrent traffic; VPN has become much more prevalent and promoted in the scene
4. The article says, in piracy, streaming websites are much more popular now

It has not been surpassed by another protocol. The relative numbers don't say much about absolute numbers or usage.

And 10 % of global internet upload is certainly no irrelevancy.

OP could have included a summary, description, or quote of what they're referring to and criticizing. They did not.

If you don't own a Roku device, there's no reason to read all that. I certainly don't want to read the full privacy policy either and then guess what OP opened a discussion about or other commenters talk about.

Also, this community is called piracy, not privacy.

I'm confused. The alternative plans are both worse but cost 10 and 15 USD per month while the better one costs 2 USD per month then 4 USD per month? How does that make any sense.

If you do it right, you can have that AI replace all the complicated pirating and downloading process.

How so? I don't see how that would work.

What are you trying to say about an AI fabricating a whole paper? It must have the same issues all trained statistical text prediction "AI" has: Hallucinations. Even if it's extended with sources, without validating them the paper text claims are useless when you can't be sure the source even exists or says what it claims.

There are use cases for AI, but if you are looking for papers for reasoned and documented information, AI is the worst you can use. Because it may look correct, but be confidently incorrect, and you are being misled.

This post is about scientific papers. Not predicted generated text.

Stop stealing my content by reading it! /s

They were pointing out the discrepancy between OP claiming to evade big VPNs while using a big VPN.

They list different languages as “seasons”

Let's call them seasoning then.

Whenever I follow a link to a subdomain, I like to open the main website.

This one is a highlight https://tsps-express.xyz/

dns0.eu is a French non‑profit organization

If this whole topic is about enforcing french block lists , I don't think a French org is that good of an alternative. Not that it necessarily makes it a bad alternative right now.

/edit: Changed wording from French companies to french block lists
