Does anyone know how I can become an uploader for pirated content? is there any type of money to be had if I wanted to do it full time?

At the very least I’m curious, at the very most I’ve always wanted to give something back to the community that gave me so much free stuff.

    Nobody stops you from uploading stuff and sharing it. But certain communities like for example private trackers have a process to allow you to become an uploader.

    As for money, ask yourself, it’s piracy, which by definition means that you want to download stuff without paying for them. Why would they pay you instead?

    There’s a few cases that it worked before but is generally frowned upon, as if holding the files hostage. Now if it’s a service that nobody else can do, or files that nobody else has laying around or easy access to buy and share for free, you could try that. Again, nobody stops you, but most people wouldn’t see kindly to that. From leechers to other uploaders.

      An example of some relatively common services are selling devices with Kodi and pirated add-ons or selling modded game consoles with games included.

      When doing that though it could be difficult to remain anonymous when scaling things up.

        No it’s not. You can find literally everything on torrents. Even with Kodi/Stremio, I could always find what I wanted to stream when my debris ran out.

        There’s only one case that I can’t think of a way without premium link generators and without waiting for months on end, and that’s switch emulation, and that only if you want the latest updates/dlc.

    As others have said the issue is the nature of the field. Piracy after all is mostly because you don’t want to pay. Some pirates will give back, mostly because they are appreciating your service (remux blurays, uploading before release etc. but you can’t expect money in this field). Try some sort donation system where donators get badges, faster downloads or other perks.
