With the collapse of hqcollect I’m not really sure where to get the kind of content one would find on manyvids, patreon, or onlyfans. This stuff seems to not really show up in indexers on Usenet (dog, geek, etc) or my preferred private tracker (ipt). I’ve even gone as far as digging into spotweb for this stuff. Am I just in the wrong indexers or trackers? I really prefer to stick to direct downloads (Usenet or straight https) over torrents so I admittedly just avoid that space unless it is a last resort

    I think your issue may be the direct download preference. Since a torrent file is not a hosted copy of pirated content, but merely a call sheet to other computers that are sharing it, in my experience they seem to stay up longer than hosted copies of videos. Not DMCA-immune but maybe more resistant? Private trackers aren’t scraped by Google the way other parts of the internet seem to be, which is how studios and creators track down their content and play DMCA whack-a-mole. I see quite a lot of OnlyFans and Patreon content on my private torrent sites.

    I may be misunderstanding what Usenet is or how it works, but this is my anecdotal experience.

    Pirating porn is so ick. It’s not like it’s necessary, or you are entitled to see their bodies.

        Nope, not remotely comparable. First of all, the consent here is the payment. These women only consent for you to see their naked bodies for a fee. To pirate their content is akin to staring in their windows when they’re getting dressed. It’s creepy and weird, and with the vast majority of free porn you don’t need to violate any model’s consent like that.
