I see people complaining about it when someone shows their tracker in reddit, and it makes sense.

I know it is hard to get a new tracker popular (specially if its public) but it will just make people complain and not use it, why would you a normal person use a brand new tracker and not like torrentgalaxy which is very known, when both of them have the same exact torrent?

    Because some/most users are not pirates to share stuffs, they are just pirates to get free stuff. If their secret place is talked about in public they are afraid it will eventually shut down due to legal actions (like it happened after some piracy platform went viral on tiktok).

    Promotion of new public pirate resourses always depends on catching traffic from search engines and never on reddit posts. This actually means that promotion of public tracker is by far easier than promoting a gatewalled one. Also this means that active public tracker would have constant influx of new users who don’t know about rutracker, 1337x and so on.

    By the way, promoting useful public pirate resourses is always a good thing, so there is no point in treating complaints about this with understanding or respect.
