I found I2P much better than Tor network, and now it supports BitTorrent protocol too https://geti2p.net/en/docs/applications/bittorrent .

Why haven't the pirates migrated to I2P? Why are we still using clearnet and making people backout of seeding cause of DMCA?

i've messed around with i2p, it requires much more technical knowledge than just torrenting and there's a bit of a learning curve to navigating and configuring it. plus it honestly hasn't changed much in years, and i'm not sure how much i trust the developers working on it. i do agree that it's better than tor though

Can you trust Tor or VPN? Tor was developed with the help of US intelligence to help build a anonymous network.

I self-host my VPN and it's open source

That's great. But not everyone is interested learning and setting up their own VPS. If it was trivial no VPN service would be in business.

It is kinda trivial?
But it's primarily cost and service intensive.
