People have been fed all sorts of lies about private trackers, like that they're necessary to keep torrents alive, and paywalled content is always first shared on private trackers. It's actually depressing to see humans constantly eat up retarded propaganda.
When the owner turns off the private tracker (which always happens), everything built gets destroyed.
Running a private tracker takes no effort and costs pretty much nothing because of the small size. If you're not an attention whore or doing something else that's retarded, you can't get caught.
Ever wondered why there are private trackers banning you when they think you're not browsing their sites from an IP address that's linked to your IRL identity? You have to be a retard to think it has anything to do with stopping ban evaders, as private trackers are extremely difficult to ban evade don. They're going to either sell their data on you or hand it to feds in hope to avoid harsher penalties.
Out of all private trackers that I've been to, I think
what.cd and empornium were the only trackers that had a substantial amount of people who shared paywalled content that had never been shared before.
Private trackers exist because of greed and selfishness. All private trackers could go out of business if there was a way to cap the speed of torrents for certain people, and if there was an admin who used the ad revenue to incentivize people to organize and clean up shitty torrents.
