10 years ago I went to private trackers that had extensive collections, everything with dozens of seeds. And you coukd seed whatever you download and it just wouldn't get downloaded. It would use up your hdd space on the seedbox whipe nobody could download them either as tgat would wreck their ratios and get tgem banned.

I was so disgusted I never even tried join otger private trackers, time wasters the lot of them.

Also I've seen some disgusting thieves SELL ratio fixing at outrageous prices.

Of course intellectual property is stupid garbage idea. But pirates selling shit is so much worse. Even worse than the continued demonic existance of Disney.

Another strategy was to downloaded whatever just got posted and seed that before there were too many seeds.

A kind of ratio pump and dump rugpull.

Such shitty behaviour enabled by the pretense that space and bandwidth are limited ressources and then waste both of them to create an invisible paywall.!
