Why Public Trackers always scrap? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I see people complaining about it when someone shows their tracker in reddit, and it makes sense.

I know it is hard to get a new tracker popular (specially if its public) but it will just make people complain and not use it, why would you a normal person use a brand new tracker and not like torrentgalaxy which is very known, when both of them have the same exact torrent?

Because some/most users are not pirates to share stuffs, they are just pirates to get free stuff. If their secret place is talked about in public they are afraid it will eventually shut down due to legal actions (like it happened after some piracy platform went viral on tiktok).
