With ancestry, yeah, that’s going to suck and it’s the bigger database, but with familysearch, you’ve got an API:

Not sure what your limits are.

The data is mostly already there and publicly maintained. Ancestry/familysearch/etc should get us something interesting at least, data is a little bit light outside the us but someone would just need to go through it.

Maybe not an eli5, but lots of reasons.

There’s no stable, consistently updating client that everyone agrees on, the real ‘emule’ client hasn’t been updated in over a decade. Once you get past that hurdle, the setup is also a lot more cumbersome than other file sharing options. The network also has kind of a bad reputation because there’s not a great way to see if you can trust a file until you’re finished downloading it and people definitely do take advantage of that.

Not great things, but she did make it.

Not sure if the original dev is still involved, but the team has also renamed their company a few times and released (and abandoned in a somewhat broken state) a few other games.

Only when it helps to keep the poors in their place.
