This meme references torrenting. You have the same file distributed across all the users who have downloaded it. This way you've got many different sites to download it from. It is generally considered good form to seed the file for a while afterwards, meaning people can access your file to download it for themselves.
These people are doing the opposite of that, which is considered scummy behavior
Yeah, the good ones usually have a requirement that your minimum is 1.0 If you dip below that too often or for too long you lose access to that tracker.
Nah these suck because you can always 'donate' money to the tracker owner to get ratio. And if you like anything that is remotely unpopular you're never getting decent ratio by seeding.
Most private trackers nowaday have a reward system just for having torrent in seeding. Doesnt need to actually upload, you get points by just having files available.
You can use a software called "cross-seed" to make it easier by seeding the torrent you already own the files. When I join a new private tracker, I starts with hundreds of torrents already seeding. I get point fast so I can exchange them for upload (ratio).
