    It's as easy as buying 1 month of seedbox for around 10 bucks.

      Buying a seedbox doesn't get you into a private tracker. It's a download client.

        mid tier trackers partner with seedbox providers who give them kickbacks for referrals, in exchange for an account

        So. Easy to get into is: "some unspecified mid-tier trackers may or may not give out accounts to some unspecified seedbox providers". It's probably easier to lurk in r/trackerinvites (or whatever it's called) hoping to snatch an invite

        Yep it's not easy. Easy was a lie. The best are actually curated public trackers. TPB is not curated.

        Sadly, curated public ones are also harder and harder to find (for obvious reasons) :(

        Rutracker's a good one.

        It's amazing how it held up over 20-ish years. You'd think it would only get worse after removing mandatory registration 10 or so years ago. And yet...

        Well, you need an account to search.
