Nowadays most people can't actually get anything off Piratebay cus they can't operate Tor

What are you even talking about? You get a magnet link off TPB, you put it into the torrent app or the seed box. No Tor needed.

There are alot of places where you can't really get to TPB without Tor.

I still wouldn't say "most people" can't access Pirate Bay. Install uTorrent, click the magnet link. Easy as that.

The very small subset of the population who live in a area where govt has blocked Piratebay can just use a VPN (which they likely already are for stuff like YouTube and Netflix).
