How does torrent sites make money?
In: Technology
there are several options:
– they dont (some might just set up a torrent server because they want to and then pay the bills themselves)
– ads on the site
– donations (paypal/bitcoin-donations from people using the site)
– in theory: by adding malware to the torrents (and thus turning your computer into a part of a botnet for example or the like)….but I don’t think this is actually done (or rather the one providing the platform is rarely the one providing the actual torrents, so…)
