I'm not really sure why
#soulseek is having a resurgence, bit it definitely does. At least in my "bubble". In the ~10 years I've been on
#slsk I found it pretty much useless to be honest. 99% is just mainstream stuff you can download from just about anywhere, and the remaining 1% is locked away behind some idiotic rule, so that noone can access it. In 10 years I had ~8 tracks/albums I couldn't find anywhere else and looked up on soulseek, to no avail. I don't know where this "you go to slsk for rare stuff" sentiment comes, but in my experience anything remotely rare, and you can forget about finding it on slsk.
