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) :(

oh, that's great. i thought the project is dead. how would you (EDIT: publicly) host such a nitter instance while avoiding the risk of legal consequences? since old.reddit (EDIT: on mobile) is closed for visitors without an account it would be great if there was also a neddit project.

old.reddit still works anonymously for me. maybe an a/b test?

You just host it and if you're not big they don't notice you. Nitter is legal btw.

possible that they just changed it for mobile.

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.

That's true, but TBP has been going pretty strong for over 2 decades. It can be hard to totally shut something down, if people want it.

Sadly, the music selection has fallen off a cliff, and the rest is in a sharply downward spiral... in one sense this is because the music industry finally settled on a streaming model that most people are willing to rent, and it's also because the new generation has been brainwashed or trained out of storing their own files.

Soulseek is working fine.

But to be honest I never found TPB (or rarbg etc.) really useful for music.

I guess X never heard of the Streisand effect...

Elon has bought immunity to that. Streisand's flaw was that she gave a shit. Elon has unlocked the kinda reverse-Streisand that Trump has, where their popularity actually feeds on the effect.

The internet peanut gallery will whine about literally everything under the sun. At a certain point I can see why some people would want to harness that energy for their advantage. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em and all that.
