I am sure you still have same number of those more advanced users, but now far more people have access to computers because they are cheaper and easier to use. That may be about it.

We know how to torrent mate we aren't dumb
Wait until they hear we have bots doing it all for us
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.
seems mostly accurate, except there was no bittorrent in 2002
edit: apparently the protocol was released in 2001- TIL
Napster, 1999.
Yeah, but it was all Kazaa and Limewire life until like... 2006-ish
does the rest of gen z not know how to torrent? i thought everyone did
I am a bit OOTL - which ones went down? Things like Internet Archive & related to AnimeFLV? I presume new ones will come back though?
If so I'm a 35 year old gen z lmao
