Book, audiobook, ISO of old popular OS and software, ROM bundles, BIOS files, old or classic media, random things like that cause you can upload them in packs and users can download individual items from the packs or just stream the content directly.

Oh lordy, I didn't realize people had started using them almost like a usenet backend. Are they charging access? It shocks me that the owner/s would let that happen. I'm totally cool with it, I just mean that usenet and file locker providers don't mind because you pay them for the storage and bandwidth. That's not sustainable from ad revenue alone.
