bump for based YIFY
Those answers piqued my interest:
>running YIFY was a hobby
>never had any direct contact with scene groups
>got fucked off by MPAA
>he lives in NZ
What ethnicity is he?
>>54199048
probably a negro
Seems like he was fully aware his releases are shit and he didn't watch them himself, good on him
>>54199048
kiwi
>>54199213
He lived in NZ but he not racially an NZ person.
>>54199224
Could be my neighbor, then again everyone in auckland is of a foreign race.
huh, interesting, never knew he was a kiwi, i wonder if he was able to settle with the mpaa because there was no commercial activity, it was just a hobby for him
>>54199565
Apparently, they told him to stop and he stopped. He wasn't going to fight since that was just a hobby of his, and he was waiting for someone to tell him to stop.
That's what I understood, from reading his answers.
He admitted that his movies had shitty quality so people with slow internet speeds could enjoy movies. THE MOVIES WERE MEANT TO BE LOW QUALITY! Why is this guy hated so much!?
>>54199664
He's not, his fanbase is just retarded
>>54199664
hes not, neither is his content, but some people want something different and get really tired of hearing people opine about the quality of yify encodes from atop mount stupid
>>54199664
he seems like an ok guy, I hope this shuts the smug fedoras up.
>>54199664
i was annoyed at how all the seeders went to shit qual movies
but thats about it
>>54199664
His movies were of low quality? Guess I've never seen high quality movies then.
>>54199960
they are fine desu
>>54199664
/g/ is so triggered by yify quality, yet audiophile cringe is so beloved, i think a critical eye should be applied
How the hell was this guy able to settle out of court with the MPAA?
>>54200175
He requested trial by vape, ripped the fattest vape he could and they let him settle out of court.
>>54200151
Because YIFY quality is clearly worse and the only thing you need to see it is 1080p screen?
>>54199664
It's ok to fill a niche, they're disgusting shitty encodes but whatever. My issue is people saying literally a10/v10, thanks yify! The scale isn't based on how happy you are you dumb mother fuckers.
>>54199960
I only ever notice during scenes that had lots of dark and little light, you could see the pixels around the light
>>54200175
no idea, my only speculation is that because he hadnt monetised his brand their charges wouldnt stick, and nobody wanted to get into a lengthy legal battle, so they just settled for taking the site down
>>54200210
>because so-and-so's rips sound so much better and all you need to hear it is a pair of beats by dre
thanks yify
>>54200210
is this you?
>>54200470
Ah, the ole gtx970 of the music industry.
>>54200210
you'll need these too
>>54199960
>denial
He literally admitted that the movies were meant to be, and were of shit quality.
>>54200151
>>54200470
>>54200494
>>54200510
>>54200539
Audiophile is like >muh flac, shitting on yify is like shitting on 128 kbps mp3s. It's not unenjoyable, but if you can get it in better quality then you probably should.
A10 V10
THANKS YIFY!!!!!!!!!!
>>54201039
thanks yify
based
Ozlem's ETRG rips are much better (If we are comparing shit tier public encodes). But YIFY kinda set the trend.
But now Joy and UTR's x265 10bit encodes are the best choice if you're downloading <3GB.
>>54201043
given their context, they were A10 V10
