Websites need to generate revenue. If you run a torrent site you are probably well aware that those who visit your site are craftier than your average web user. If people are using ad blockers then you aren't able to generate revenue to pay for hosting and your own time maintaining things. Your option then is to try your best to make the ads on your site even craftier to try and bypass adblockers so you can monetize. Your other option is to let all the ads get blocked, get no revenue, make the website become solely your financial burden.... Or you know. Your users disable the adblockers when on your site and the ads won't have to be so aggressive and your site can monetize.
They don't. Only shitty trackers. Every tracker I use has zero ads. A thing called private trackers exist. Every good torrent site has zero ads.
If you can't get in a private tracker and don't want ads, usenet is better than public trackers anyways.
Private trackers >/= usenet > public trackers
And if you do want to use public trackers, you don’t need to browse their site. Instead you can use their API ad-free with software like Jackett or Prowlarr.
You don't need to speak in absolutes dude. There are definitely good public trackers out there that use ads. No reason to get all angry about it.
I’m not nor was I angry, just being honest.
Yep, I've had my RevolutionTT account for over a decade.
