As a disclaimer, I'm someone relatively new to usenet
Usenet has provided a much more consistent option for media quality for my server. Most titles in the last 20-25 years have around ten distributions ranging from 720p to 4k. The biggest difference are downloads. It's no contest: better bandwidth with much much more consistent speeds. You won't stumble on something with one seeder on a 300kbps connection. There's no requirement to seed content back, although I recognize that if you're using private torrent trackers this is likely the case for you already
Overall I enjoy how much better usenet is to gather media from when it comes to the amount of time from request -> server availability
Personally quitting was a good decision for me, but I don't have any malice towards people that choose to partake in any drug. Their business and their prerogative
