    There is this torrent site I use that likes to use javascript to redirect to various malicious websites on every single click. After reaching the desired amount of clicks, it start behaving like a normal, “legit” website. Just of out curiosity I checked few other torrent websites and got the same result. It got so annoying that I’m using radarr and sonarr to look for torrents.

      Hey everybody, this guy uses a shitty fucking site and thinks all piracy sites are bad! Definitely not confirmation bias with a tinge of ignorance

      Why do you like to use this site if you know it’s trying to abuse you? There are countless others out there.

        Mostly because of the amount of good quality content. But as I said, I’ve moved to radarr/sonarr so I interact with less and less.

        So far they have not proven themselves to make wise choices, or really know what they are talking about at all
