Torrents?

You think torrents are a better way to distribute files compared to alternatives?

Yes. Because the files are actually there.

Twitter won't allow you to say what the CDC says on viral transmission. They won't allow you to say that men aren't women. They hide posts as "sensitive content" that show crime in the cities that people of the same mindset run. Their CEO doesn't believe in freedom of speech.

Blockchain is currently a set of underwhelming technologies, but in a world of 0 or 1 existentials, it's a driving force to allow the open expression 90s tech people said they wanted but lied about.

Depends on what files you're distributing. There are some legal uses that they're a good fit for, but there's no better way to pirate content.

They'll reply as soon as some seed provides the final few words of the sentence they are constructing.
