I mean, all subscriptions are limited in some way.

Netflix streaming isn’t limited.

Costco isn’t limited to 5 visitors a month.

Many ISPs don’t limit you to a preset amount of data (fuck you Crapcast).

It requires a subscription, which scares off most of the casual “just looking to try it” users. It’s as simple as getting a Usenet subscription.

Ok, doesn’t sound too bad so far.

[Most people have two subscriptions to Usenet] …the monthly sub will be unlimited access for a month, while a usage sub will just be like 100GB of download bandwidth, and you don’t get charged again until you use that 100GB.

Wait, so I have to pay for access and even then it’s still limited?

You know what works and is unlimited (subject to ISP restrictions that aren’t related to bittorrent)? Torrenting.

Some people are just insane and swear they can see a quality difference between compressed and uncompressed.

I think it’s bunk, but it’s not my storage space.

Me too!

Great, someone made Wheelers from Return to OZ

“…but then nobody except nerds could be bothered about managing private keys…”

I’m a nerd and have no desire to maintain and swap keys. It needs to be seamless, like Signal.

Sir, you look like the piss boy!

Yeah? And you look like a bucket of shit.
