Is Usenet still reliable, am I missing the right way to use it? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I have a paid Usenet account with good retention and I download through sabnzbd. I've only ever used nzbindex.com as an indexer.

For a long time it was easy to find TV/movies but in recent years it's become almost impossible. Has Usenet become a bad option because of takedowns or am I missing a modern way of using it?

I see there are lots of binaries posted with cryptic or random string names. Are these supposed to be regular TV/movies etc. with obfuscated names so they can't be found and taken down?

Do better/private indexers give access to these files or otherwise solve not being to find anything? Is it still supposed to be possible to find reliable new release shows and movies?

Are Sonarr/Radarr are what I need, do they solve the problem of not being able to find files, or do they just provide more convenience for the same files I can already find?

Yes, definitely, paid private Indexer are worth the money. In my opinion, you only find crap using free Indexer. Use radarr and sonarr together with hydra2 or bowlarr(sorry if written wrong) to mange your Indexer. Get as many as you can, especially Private. Of you get that running, it’s a matter of minutes to grab a realese after it’s aired. Download is blazing fast on my server like 15min for 4k

I think you mean prowlarr for indexers?
