I see a lot of Millennials using G-drive instead of torrent, actually.

I don't know, but in France people got scared by "HADOPI" which was a government organization to find people sharing files, and like they were sending you e-mails if caught! And if caught a second time, BAM a paper letter! Scary! Then I think there was something like cutting your internet, not sure it ever happened.

Phones (and tablets) changed the way people use devices. It's neither better or worse imo, I use both methods.

I just don't use torrents anymore, I use xdcc. I used to torrent, but there is so much ransomware, ISP threats, malware, ect. I still use torrents for official things like Linux Isos or Gimp though. Gen z here

seems mostly accurate, except there was no bittorrent in 2002

edit: apparently the protocol was released in 2001- TIL

That's why they made streaming media. Worked good, didn't it?
