Dont get me wrong, i use adblock. But i entered one without it enabled to test, and it was filled with malware ads that i closed the site immediatly. Why do trackers owners use malware ads, and not regular/gambling website ads? it would get more people to the site (= more money) and people without adblock would be more likely to return.

They don't. Only shitty trackers. Every tracker I use has zero ads. A thing called private trackers exist. Every good torrent site has zero ads.

If you can't get in a private tracker and don't want ads, usenet is better than public trackers anyways.

Private trackers >/= usenet > public trackers

And if you do want to use public trackers, you don’t need to browse their site. Instead you can use their API ad-free with software like Jackett or Prowlarr.

You don't need to speak in absolutes dude. There are definitely good public trackers out there that use ads. No reason to get all angry about it.
