Also, they just translate estimated number of downloads to potentially sold tickets 1:1 (they always have). As if a pirate would actually watch all that shit if they had to pay for it. Many probably even don’t after download (like Steam games on sale).
Trackers that make users do that are plainly scams. Probably run by the mpaa to slow down piracy.
It creates a deadlock where nobody dowloads and nobody uploads. 500 seeds terabytes wasted, sitting with idle internet connections, nobody downloading.
I’m leaving space for the possibility that some of them aren’t run by the average zero sum idiots that plague the internet and real life. But probably yes, all private trackers I’ve wasted my time joining, have been this kind of stupid shit, resource and time wasting shit.
Public trackers are far far superior and the only source of torrents to grace my seedboxes.

Especially if it’s torrents on private trackers where you download stuff you don’t want just to build up ratio

You don’t know what you’re missing, good private trackers are much, much better.
glances at my 8TB drive of which maybe 10-20% actually has been watched…
How did you know how much of my media I’ve actually watched?
