PassThePopcorn (PTP) : NEWS

It's not often that huge groups of people are able to come together and collectively change the expectations, expanses, scope, and face of their world. Even less often are individuals capable of catching the moment when it happens. We are lucky in both respects, we've all come together, faced disagreements, forged allies, made enemies, and come together to fight common enemies when it was necessary. Through it all we had a singular vision, a driving focus that guided every decision, every choice, and every action of us all. We wanted to build the worlds largest library. We chose not to compete within the realm we started, we chose to be more than just a torrent site, we chose to compete against the mainstream, to take on Amazon Video, to go head to head with Netflix, and, we chose to do it through the power of community. Now, because of this fantastic, amazing, dedicated community of intelligent, innovative, and driven people, we've been lucky enough to touch the face of history, and in some small way, change the way the game is played.

Thank you PTPers, through your brilliance, and your stamina, we've decimated Amazon's stream (approx 17,000 titles), we've matched and surpassed Netflix's stream (approx 60,000 titles), and we've done it all as a group, as a dedicated community of people who love film in all it's forms. This is what makes this occasion so monumental, so insanely crazy and huge, not just the count on the front page, or the ease of searching, but majesty of this beautiful monster we've all created, the beauty of the impact that our community has created on the expectations of what a digital delivery system can provide, most of all, the beauty that this whole big thing revolves around relying on each other and building bigger because we're doing it together.

Congratulations PTP, you're absolutely fucking amazing!
