Unfortunately with public trackers you're mostly helping leechers and debrid users who don't contribute back anything at all

Family and friends requesting even couple years old shows that just arent available in this region or what be it like come on, its the digital age, I can message someone halfway around the world but I can't watch some movie because someone wants the most nickel and dime. /rant

I don't expect any of them to know what bittorrent is, if it brings them joy when there may be no other option, that is what this is for afterall
