I wouldn’t deny or argue that. I was under the impression that it just had more pitfalls than other sources these days, which led to it no longer being the go-to source it once was.
I haven’t noticed any pitfalls, but some other sites have fancy looking interfaces, and they might organize things in a fashion that you find more convenient. In other words, it’s a question of what features you want and where you can find them.
About two or so years ago somebody on Reddit was saying it’s basically a honeypot for catching people torrenting. But I have nothing to back this up and possibly my memory isn’t accurate either. I’ve just avoided it since then though.
I’m sorry, I’m not plugged in enough to give you the rundown. Certainly plenty of people still use it without issue but last time I tried, I could only access it through mirrors. I also vaguely recall them only offering magnet links when my setup requires .torrent files for reasons that aren’t worth getting into because I expect they’re weirdly specific to my setup.
I don’t think TPB is strictly recommended for anything anymore, I could be out of the loop on that.
As a simple matter of fact, many people are still recommending TPB. It gets the job done a lot of the time.

Perfectly valid. I used to use TPB a lot back in the day but now I find pretty much everything I want on 1337x.
Wow I’m definitely out of the loop. Any reason why?
It’s basically the wild west nowadays, totally unmoderated.
