[NOT a question] What skulls on the The Pirate Bay mean

https://pirates-forum.org/Thread-ThePirateBay-Want-Trusted-VIP-Status-Pink-Green-Skull-See-Here

I already know, but I feel like this post belonged here. Trust the skulls, I have usually found original seeders seeding the torrent alone for years at time (1 seeder) and they get the job done.

Green Skull, Pink Skull, Number of seeders column (what else?) are the things you should care for while downloading torrents.

Is thepiratebay still worth using? I haven't visited in years

- I've been using TPB regularly for over a decade. Goes down now and then but usually back up in a day or 2 tops

  Have you found the content to be reliable/trustworthy? Last I looked, it was just full of uploaded-yesterday highly suspicious links.

- Page next and back buttons have been gone for like 10 years now but you can manually browse by adding :2 for page two to your search, :3 and so on

- Imo it kind of never was but it does serve as a beacon of hope and takes a lot of the heat.

- I use a pirate proxy for 90% of my torrent usage.

  What are you the cia?
  
  For movies (rip rarbg) I use TorrentLeech
  For music I use Soulseek
  For books I use irc.irchighway.net #ebooks
  
  I recently purchased a Usenet subscription+indexer to plug up any gaps, and it seems to be a pretty good option as well (although not free).
  
  For software, I just try to always go open source when I can, and I don't really pirate games. I find executables to just be too risky.

- I don't really use it directly, but I have it as a source in radarr/sonarr so occasionally I get stuff from there. Hasn't let me down so far!
