Redacted.sh is a worthy successor, but the average person just doesn’t care about “which release is best” anymore. I use YT Music as a backup but Redacted is my main source of music these days.
The private trackers are just as much about the community as they are about the content they host. Of course there are trade offs because communities can be very insular.
I’ve noticed in the past 10 years or so private trackers have become less strict because the economics of ratios only works if either a) everyone is equally uploading new material and b) there are more and more signups. So now there is value in the amount of time you seed your content which lowers your “required” ratio.

Don't you consider it best to ... redact ... your post, as it's the only one mentioning it by name?
It's hardly a secret, you can go on r/trackers where people discuss private trackers for every media type
Some people just don't know when to shut the hell up.
At the end of the day it feels like the private trackers are such a nightmare to get invited to and maintain ratio at it’s just not worth the effort.
I want this torrent though. It would be fun to stand up a NAS for this.
