If used them a few times before tools to rip from streaming services became as common as they are now and thkse releases are fine. Dont really see a reason to use them nowadays tho besdies the scenes seal of approval.
Also I get your frustration with people not understanding what you mean with "scene" here, but tbf you could have specified which scene, in this case it would be the warezscene that you are talking about.
For those unaware about the warezscene, they are the groups that make releases for every type of media and are bound by rules (you can look them up if you wanna know specifics about those), the names the op mentioned are a result of those rules.
Dead torrents are a lot less common as people are often rewarded for seeding torrents for long periods of time or seeding torrents with very few seeds. You often get faster download speeds on torrents with few seeds as people often use seedboxes to maintain ratio.
