Really should know better, I know, I know... was looking at possible #CameraBag backpacks for the #Pentax67, lenses etc & stupidly went onto #YouTube, lawwdddd. The 1st #AlarmBell is the #PaidPromotion banner, followed by "Full disclosure, I got the bag gratis but my review is completely unbiased" BS. The 2nd, they're at a table blathering on (& on, & on) & not putting footwork in w/a long term test. 3rd, you check price of the bags & they're in excess of 300 quid... #YerAvingALaugh #Photography

Looking at the most #torrented TV shows and movies is an interesting list. It does some of what I want already on a global level I guess.

Most torrented is definitely weighted by availability though (HBO shows and other paid stuff usually being torrented more).

But at least it is a ranking generated by humans with a genuine interest in watching the content rather than #PaidPromotion.
