private torrent trackers are/were doing that. It was really just to make sure you understood how p2p culture works and what the expectations are, and really easy to pass if you just followed a guide. However, I did see many people fail their interview.
Or you get an invite from a friend who always has a bunch of them. Although many people don't realize the expectations and can't cope up with the demands. RED is awesome, but in 2024 it might be hard to start from scratch.
Was there ever video interviews? Admittedly I wasn’t really paying attention but back when I was getting into what it was only IRC, and these days it still seems to be IRC anywhere that does interviews (otherwise class-restricted forum invites).
I dont recall ever seeing that. I dont think anyone doing piracy wants to be photographed or videoed lol. I did get in mumble with some community members but it was just a hangout.
