Ten years ago BitTorrent was 1/3+ of internet traffic. And that was back when the average consumer connection's Mbps were in the double digits and hard drives cost so much more.
Now the only thing people are torrenting anymore is shitty cams of movies in theaters (because that's the only sector of the media industry that still artificially restricts their content).
At this point it's easier to get content legally—with instant gratification by streaming, too. No one wants to do the extra work of uploading torrents, seeding, breaking DRM, etc. when it's just to avoid a $5-$10/month subscription fee.
It's the end of an era.
