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

> How to obtain many sessions easily (public instances) The easiest way is to buy them here: https://hstockplus.com/accounts/twitter-x-accounts?sortBy=pr... > This way, you relay the account register process to the seller. These tokens are sold in the format username|password|2fa_code|cookies (including auth token, id and ct0), which makes it very easy and convenient for us to use. is this legit? this sounds extremel…

No way to know if that particular site is legit without trying it, but account buying and selling on internet gray markets is very normal and the prices quoted are reasonable.

Yes, you have to give up all your personal data and submit to anal probing to get an account on a sillycon valley service, but a bad actor just has to pay $10 in bitcoin to get a thousand of them.

Yeah, but most of these will fall. I used to use one or two of these to scrape my friends' posts because I stopped using Twitter and they'd inevitably all disappear in time. It's like chasing the latest TPB. In the end, I just logged in a headless browser and told an agent to fetch daily.

They're all perfect substitutes. When one is down you can use another. They can't stop us all. I just wish there was a way to automatically redirect to a working instance.

LibRedirect kind of does so, it's not 100% there yet

I can concur though. I have a rarely used account and I get Elon on top of the feed all the time. Even as mobile notifications. I don't click on them and scroll past, but they keep coming.

Have you tried blocking him? It’s always seemed an effective strategy to me when I want to stop seeing someone online.

Is there something like a balancer that redirects me to an instance that is not down?

The LibRedirect browser extensions lets you configure a list and quickly hot between, but it doesn't check whether they are up before redirecting you to one of them iirc

Any user scripts that automatically redirect to a working instance?

Not a user script, but the LibRedirect extension does most of that already

I think it doesn't check whether the chosen instance is up before redirecting, but switching to another one if that one is down is a single click.

The not needing an account is obviously not minor, but honestly, the UI is just better , by a lot . I made a twitter account a while ago using one of those throw away email address sites, so I have an account that I don't care about that I can use for twitter....but the experience just sucks. I don't know how any stands it, even if they don't mind needing an account.

The X app loads posts much faster than these sites, so I find the app has a better UI.

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
