It sounds like you are more interested in complaining and arguing online, rather than solving your problems.
Meanwhile, I joined my first private tracker 3 years ago, and now I am in all of them (ptp, btn, etc). I do not have to worry about the ratios (cross-seed is set and forget), and after awhile you have more "upload" and "ratio" then you need for a lifetime. I barely have to seed anymore. I log in once in a while, but otherwise do not have to participate in the communities, and the selection is awesome (they basically have everything, even Mexican B movies from the 1940s, whatever floats your boat). They saturate my fiber when I download too.
But do keep complaining and arguing, you will feel better.
My experience is the same as GP's. Any time I joined a private tracker I was eventually kicked for not enough activity or low seed ratio. I tried to seed the stuff I downloaded, but usually no one seemed to want to leech from me.
It's complicated because there will always be multiple seedboxes seeding a torrent, which is excellent for keeping torrents alive, but then a normal user barely gets any chance to upload the torrent and maintain ratio.
Pretty much every tracker has bonus points for seeding, you dont need actual upload to have high ratio.
You provide an anecdote without any data, and proceed to complain and argue for three paragraphs. Even if you were right, you'd still be worse than GP.
