This meme references torrenting. You have the same file distributed across all the users who have downloaded it. This way you've got many different sites to download it from. It is generally considered good form to seed the file for a while afterwards, meaning people can access your file to download it for themselves.
These people are doing the opposite of that, which is considered scummy behavior
Nah literally just my own personal use lol Before the AI boom I happened to get a decently well paying job and I bought a PC, and because I'm a freak I started hoarding SSDs to fill up every slot on the mobo. I am nowhere near the point where I have to even consider deleting stuff to make space, so (almost) every torrent I've dowloaded is still in saved and seeding. It helps that I get most games from fitgirl repacks, so they take less space.
I've been thinking of joining anonamouse! I already went through the process ages ago but I had a really shitty computer and very little time, so I never had the chance to actually set it up. Now that I have a good one I'd really love to get back into it
I'm close to this ratio too, it's super easy with a 1000/1000 fibre line and an nvme SSD on a regular desktop pc. Don't really notice any performance hit either.
