I know someone who uses both. Some of it is for realtime sports and others is just for shows they dont want to have to download.
Many others use some form of plex shares or real debrid

I was just thinking the same thing. 😄
Preaching to the choir but good to remind some people. Thats why you avoid or limit use of those services. Use tor or a VPN and use multiple layers of blocking such as DNS and in browser blocking. Also foss only applications where possible.
Tried ghostrunner but ot was not for me. It was just not fun to play and felt way too difficult. Playing a bit of stardew valley and recently started tunic too.
Steam input to the rescue
If I was going to do it I would only host the site on tor or i2p. I'd only host magnet links with minimal metadata and aim to have the site work without JavaScript. Maybe a small flask application or something to populate the pages using templates. Very basic, light weight and secure.
I would also release a monthly dump of the site to allow it to survive in the event of a takedown .
This way you have a minimal attack surface , you are protected from legal threats as they dont know where or who is hosting and they dont have a hosting provider to send the notices to.
With regular dumps of the site , taking it down becomes futile as there are copies out there in the wild, that can spring up the next day if needed. Its like a diversified seed bank if you will 😉.
One guy during the probation period called IT saying his laptop was broke, they told him to bring it into the office. It turned out he was on another continent and didn't bother to tell anyone. As expected he lost his job.
Good that "soundalikes" was mentioned as I'm not a fan of the new voice they did for korvo in solar opposites(the other show Roland was fired from ), it just takes me out of of the scene each time with the british accent.
I used them as extra photo backups in case my device and server and backup were to be destroyed. They are cheap and provide an extra option just in case. They are not great for really long but ive found if taken care of they can last for years and they are cheap too so why not take advantage.
I'll stick to signal
