Rarbg is a PITA with its random rate limiting. I wish they'd let me sign up and get an API key (Even if that meant paying for it) because I'd rather have rarbg than rely on whatever arse trackers I have the time and energy to sign up for.
I know people say "oh just get private trackers" but it's so much effort, especially when my piracy philosophy is that it should be as painless as possible to access content. I just want to get a tracker's info, add it to Prowlarr, and start downloading. The requirement of posting and becoming a community member when I deal with my seedbox/prowlarr setup once every couple of months (if that) is far too labour-intensive imo.
Rarbg is gone unless I'm mistaken.

Freeleach filters, and re-seeding for the minimum amount of time is a great way to handle private trackers though. Yes, still more work than public trackers, but you generally get access to stuff that’s harder to find if you’re into them, and download speeds are generally faster.
Usenet is also a good option, but that requires $
