In my case - of course it takes up space that would otherwise be free. I only get what I immediately use and I mostly don’t need it anymore directly afterwards. If I’d only seed as long as I need the file I would never reach a ratio of 1, let alone 2.
So yeah, a ratio of 2 leaves enough space for me to work with, while giving back double then what I took. I don’t see the problem.
Why limit seeding unless you’re on a metered connection?
Because I have limited space.
Seeding doesn’t take up space, as long as it’s on your disk you should seed it.
Seeding doesn’t take up more space, unless you were planning to delete the thing, which doesn’t make much sense.

Why not? You keep every film every episode every-thing you consume?
Of course, why not? Hard drive space is cheap.
