What is the ideology behind private trackers?
Removed by modPrivate trackers are well known for their elitist and insufferable users. I'd like to know the reasons behind their gatekeeping. Is it just mere elitism to feel superior or are there any other reasons? I've heard people saying they like to have a smaller number of high quality users for long term stability. I've even heard people tell they're designed to keep government and federal agents away. I'd like to hear your thoughts.
I used to visit an specialized private tracker that went offline, deli.sh, it's had only food content, like video courses and a lot of books. Everything had at least a couple of seeders, so even that ultra rare French language pastry book was available to download. My girlfriend, now wife, was on cooking academy and I downloaded a lot of books and courses for her that would be unavailable anywhere else on the internet. I don't think you can really have that kind of collection on a public tracker.
