> What else do people use torrents for from a consumer perspective?

We have three streaming services: Netflix, Prime and Disney+.[1] Not everything I want to see is on those services.

[1] And "youtube with ads", i.e. standard free youtube. Dunno if that counts though.

Oh for sure. I wasn't suggesting there's no need for torrents anymore. Like I said, I still torrent, just a lot less than I used to. And I was speculating that this is due, at least in part, to the increased availability of video content on streaming platforms. It used to be that the only way I could see a certain show or movie was by torrenting it.
