Some time ago I gave up using sonarr & radarr to watch (popular) tv shows and movies because the search just stopped giving decent results. Now I heard that rarbg has also quit.
So I am wondering, is this still a thing?
Automation apps have gotten more popular over the years so yes, they are still a thing.
Sonarr/Radarr are the most popular ones but there are others too. Most work with torrents and usenet but you’d need to check the individual projects to be sure.

Have a look at Jackett, it re-produces the search results for hundreds of torrent sites as Torznab feeds, what that means is that these can then be added to indexes for Sonarr and Radarr.
Or prowlarr for something different and a bit more powerful
The devs for these projects are kind of uppity tbh. Like I’m appreciative of their efforts, but I’d never contribute to the code base itself as they’re very rude.
They’ve seemed pretty decent to me except for the king A-hole /u/Bakerboy448 or whatever his username is/was. I see they removed him as “junior developer” so problem solved. He was always a prick when offering ‘help’ to anyone in the radarr/sonarr subreddits. Like why even bother responding to help requests if you’re just going to be as least helpful as possible?
