Yearly rates for a provider and 2 indexers still doesn’t come close to the cost of all the streaming subscriptions you’d need to have the same library access. Coupled with the ability to use RSS feeds and other homelab services to essentially automate your collection, it’s just absolutely worth every penny.
But I wouldn’t know firsthand, because I’m a law abiding citizen, and this is all hypothetical. I just read about it on the internet somewhere.

Comparing to torrents
With usenet you’re not a distributor.
You say that as if it was a plus…
I mean you can be if you want
Usenet via SSL, with a provider that doesn’t log, over torrents any day. The anonymity level, speed, and retention is all worth it.
But they still are more expensive than torrents
So use torrents and get ridiculed by your date.
