For eweka, look for a deal, don't pay more than $4 or so per month. Do some googling for a deal or coupon.

If you want text content and discussions, I will second Eternal September.

They do not carry any of the binary/piracy groups.

I actually used to get Windows software (and the OS) off the newsgroups! What a different world it was!

few days ago I browsed Usenet first time and it was.... boring tbh. I couldn't find any content part of the reason was that my usenet server admin says they haven't federated with other usenet servers so I was only seeing local post, local server having only two users me and the admin. is there any good usenet out there I could participate in?
