How can everyone on a private tracker maintain seed ratios above 1? Is it mathematically impossible? (lemmy.ml)

I know that private trackers require users to maintain a good seed ratio. How exactly does that work out mathematically? If a bunch of users have seed ratios above 1, does that mean that there are some users who will forever be below 1, and thus end up getting kicked out, thus resulting in the private tracker just... shrinking over time?

I don't recall w.cd having FL first week, but they did have semi regular weeks. Mebbe you filled it? I had a seedbox, when a FL period started I redid my entire library and permaseeded, shot through the ranks and was basically set for life.
