    I thought Torrent sites made money?

    RARBG Torrents , films , download

    Hello guys,
    We would like to inform you that we have decided to shut down our site.
    The past 2 years have been very difficult for us - some of the people in our team died due to covid complications,
    others still suffer the side effects of it - not being able to work at all.
    Some are also fighting the war in Europe - ON BOTH SIDES.
    Also, the power price increase in data centers in Europe hit us pretty hard.
    Inflation makes our daily expenses impossible to bare.
    Therefore we can no longer run this site without massive expenses that we can no longer cover out of pocket.
    After an unanimous vote we've decided that we can no longer do it.
    We are sorry
    Bye

      similarweb shows 3.5m visitors per month

      no idea what RPM looks like on torrent sites but at 3.5m visitors/month its hard to imagine their revenue was much more than $10k/month

      plus, almost no google traffic. almost all direct/referral traffic. bad for RPM

      doesn't seem sustainable to me unless its a one-man operation, which clearly it isn't based on their statement.

          It may not be purely financial, their might be some legal pressure too.

              Not with the bullshit mainstream style of monetization all of them use.
              Stop asking me about AI, the answer is yes.

                                              I haven't used or even thought about a torrent site in about 13 years. Does Pirate Bay still exist?

                                                  yup, piratebay still works great

                                                  i much prefer streaming services these days because the video quality and subtitles are better, but I keep a couple hard drives worth of torrented content for internet/power outages and traveling. video quality and subtitles are hit-and-miss but torrenting is really the best/only option for DRM-free media.

                                                          piracy isn't OK just because its something you want to see

                                                          piracy gutted our industry. maybe you don't care?

                                                                                                  all that content got from the paysites to the tubes somehow. it wasn't from owners uploading their entire libraries. anyone in the chain is complicit.

The problem was the race to the bottom business model of giving away more and more for free in the hunt for traffic rather than sales.
