Haven’t paid close attention, and just knew that when I see mention of Usenet, there’s all talk about invites nowadays.

Usenet is mainly used for pirating these days. The invites are probably referring to indexers which are sites that post nzb files that tell your Usenet client which posts to download for a certain movie/tv show/ etc.
