to play devils advocate, they've also been trying to kill torrents for almost 20 years now, with very little to actually show for their efforts.

The most impactful thing that I've seen was the rise of netflix and the ease of getting legally paid for content making torrents not worth the effort. With the splintering of streaming content into many different services, I'm drifting back to torrents and finding it as reliable as it ever was.

It's kind of funny that when a discussion about multiple players in an industry comes up, HN is often the bastion of competition. But when we talk about an industry like streaming content, too many people despise the fragmentation.

In most industries competition improves user experience.
