Hello just making a poll, which one do you prefer? personally I prefer x265 but since the rarbg falldown i've seen that almost all 1080p rips are in x264, what do you think about that, and do you recommend any place to find more x265 content beside those in the megathread?

amen. I just discovered AV1 so that seems cool as far as space saving goes

I just wish we had more AV1 releases

It's not like a ton of people have compatible hardware anyway. It'll eventually become more common as more uploaders can encode and downloaders can decode.

As far as I know most uploaders prefer software encoding for the best result. Even with the most advanced encoder (e.g. SVT-AV1) and the latest hardware, that becomes a taxing task with AV1.
