I mean movies and tv shows. I know it is alive but can you find stuff that you can only find on private trackers for example and how is the speed on average?

It is basically like purchasing a prepaid phone plan, it last forever until you use the data.
You can use bitcoin or monero, but I honestly it does matter even if you use your main email when purchasing providers and indexers. Technically speaking both indexers and providers are legal.
Deals, many usenet providers and indexers provide deals on reddit, so unless you want to pay the full price you need to go to reddit.
To learn more about downloading Linux distros go here: https://lemmy.world/c/usenet or go to /r/UsenetTalk.
People already mentioned Lemmy, no one joined, also the mod this Usenet lemmy group hasn't posted anything in a year.

The issue with Lemmy is that people don't want to look for an instance to join, they prefer all the work done for them like Bluesky default instant, so I doubt anyone would move here. What's funny is that the mods are approved by reddit and now new mods have taken over, there is a rumour that they are the same awful mods with alternate accounts. Reddit is truly awful, bots, propaganda, and a lot of power abuse.
I still use reddit alot, but I use sync. Unfortunately there are still many useful subreddits in reddit that have never moved to Lemmy. For example Usenet subreddit or Fan sub Reddit for tv show and games, and let us not forget anime_titties.
It is possible to run your own relay, but is very expensive. Unless people decide to run their own relays, Bluesky is technically centralised. You can run your own PDS for cheap through.
Yeah I might be a bit paranoid, on reddit usenet it is very common to refer to pirated content as linux distros. I edited it again, but with movies and tv shows. I guess I picked it as a habit with how frequently I use the reddit Usenet subreddit.

I do use usenet but dcma takedowns are very quick these days that new movies get removed very quickly, is IRC better in this aspect, also I don't have private tracker and public trackers are noticeably worse than usenet in terms of release groups.
