I worry the average person has no idea how to torrent.
The average person doesn't even have a proper computer anymore. I guess you're can still torrent on your phone but I've not tried it.
I've torrented on my Android phone and watched Christopher Nolan movies on it.
(Heresy I know, but it's called poverty)
I just use Stremio on everything now with the usual plugins and a debrid service sub. I could do it old school on mobile, but navigating Android is baseline a tedious slog even while knowing what I'm doing.
Kodi on a Google chromecast with a real-debid account. A liile complicated for non technical to configure but so smooth once setup. https://github.com/umbrellaplug/umbrellaplug.github.io
To be fair, when I first got access to the internet as a kid, I also didn't know.
It look me like a couple years of being tired of shitty ad-ridden streaming sites and digging through the internet before I even heard of The Pirate Bay and Torrents (Thanks to r/piracy btw 😎)
