How often do you consume the stuff you pirate? How do you avoid "hoarding"?

Asking mostly because I have fuckloads of video courses, plus a number of movies, that I have yet to even check if the content is as good as their titles imply and I really feel like I’m mostly hoarding this stuff because I have no fucking clue.

I only download what I plan to consume shortly, then delete.

I do almost that, but I don’t delete so that I can seed

I seed until the ratio is 2.0 which I think is fine for popular torrents. I keep seeding obscure stuff that I struggled to download myself, but that’s quite rare, so it doesn’t lead to ‘hoarding’.
