Did you actually try any of these yourself? Some are clearly clones, and are not down.
The first two are 'clones' but they seem to have just taken a backup of the actual rarbg content from a few days ago (last torrents from the 25th of May!)

1 - Pirate bay still exists and is very much alive. 2 - Rarbg was a margin note in torrent community. There are others very much alive and better.
Better? Which ones?

What did you mean then?
I guess he meant what he wrote: that the site was immensely useful, with just a handful of people behind it. In this case, the reason is that being it in a sensible position, they must have chosen to close rather than to involve more staff.
That site has been Comcast's honeypot for like 10 years.
Someone already mentioned the Comcast angle, and they are correct. The ISP isn't involved until they get the notification from an agent of the owner of the content. The honeypot isn't the torrent site. You can use any site in the world or no site at all and still get busted. It's a peer to peer network, and the people busting you are seeding the torrents themselves. They catch you when you peer with them. Use a VPN,…
In a way, they are helping us with better download speeds.
Probably the largest blow to the torrent sharing community since The Pirate Bay got shut down. The impact of content availability will be noticeable for years to come

You also have to associate credit card info with illegal activity that leads directly back to your physical self. Pass.
Nope. Most accept crypto.
It's absolutely insane how many of these incredibly important torrent sites are just managed and hosted by a rag-tag group of people with the site barely clinging to life.
They are mostly serving text that can be cached and have a search function. Is it really surprising that a few people can run one?

Google takes down content when they get notified, rarbg doesn't.
I've yet to see Google not return a piratebay link at any point in history. Is it a loophole where they take it down, but their indexer then immediately puts it back in the next pass, lol?
At the bottom there is a message that says "In response to a legal request submitted to Google, we have removed 4 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read more about the request at LumenDatabase.org" and links to https://lumendatabase.org/notices/27615507
