      Easy, get automation software like Radarr for movies and Sonarr for tv shows, add indexers like Drunkenslug to them, install and connect SABNZBD as the download client to Sonarr and Radarr and lets roll

        You forgot the most important part, subscribe to a usenet provider. Your usenet download client can’t download anything without a provider.

            Nah drunkenslug is an indexer. You need both an indexer and provider to use usenet. Indexers normally cost money via a donation for lifetime or 1 year of download privilege.

            Providers you pay for via different plan types. Some sell “block” accounts where you get XGB of download and once it’s gone it’s gone. Some have a subscription model with a bandwidth allotment. Some have pay a flat fee for unlimited access. All depends on what you’re willing to pay.

            R/usenetproviders has a wiki but I recommend Eweka or NewsDemon

              Because the more attention the platform gets the more likely corps put time towards shutting it down.

                I think you overestimate how hidden we are. Anyway if anyone doesn’t want it, they can tag their post to skip it.

                  I would agree with this but I still think having an opt-out for bot replies is important. That opt-out shouldn’t be compliance.

          If blocking the bot prevented their interaction with users and the posts/comments those users make that would be a good solution, but as is blocking is just an “eww I don’t like this, I don’t want to see it” instead of “This entity will not be able to interract with my account/posts”. In this case there is concern regarding the bot’s behavior, and the unwanted exposure it gives to users who may not want it, which blocking doesn’t solve because it doesn’t provide an opt-out from replies, just to stop seeing the replies.
