A stand-alone media file renamer/organizer with a nice webui that supports hard links.

Since I automate my torrent downloads I basically use the arr suite for just renaming and organizing which kinda over complicates things.

Rofl, it’s a hobby, you do it for fun, you shouldn’t need to get paid. I also play tennis as a hobby and I love to talk to people about it without charging them money believe it or not. The fetishization with internet fame, views, and money is making gaming weird.

I mean back when I was more into gaming I would contribute. I didn’t expect money, I just did it because it was fun. I feel like there’s a big disconnect between the current generation and my generation that wrote 300 page guides on gamefaqs for the hell of it rofl.

I mean I would argue it’s related, the reason behind it is $$$. Corporate interests have homogenized content and de-normalized diversity and community.

People who use to just post their excel sheets and research on some bb forum for free somewhere starting getting paid by icy veins or maxroll. Overtime they establish a monopoly on the content and can do whatever the hell they want.

Why make a platform that depends on the community and you get the ad views when you can adopt a business strategy that also gets you youtube and social media views while eliminating your competition.

And the youtube trend is just people trying to emulate the handful of people who managed to make it big off the twitch/youtube bag.

Cause you gotta get dem “views”. Don’t forget to smash that subscribe button.

The format makes no sense for the information being consumed, it’s like this for their benefit not the viewers.

Even the Maxroll build guides are like, oh yea go view our youtube video to get all the info.

• Owner and staff known to be questionable assholes
• They did questionable stuff to try and make it to the top like astroturfing with fake accounts and stealing peers from other trackers
• They were one of first to start charging for signups
• The fact they state that they delete accounts and your only option is to make a new one
• Around the time they started charging a lot of people like myself found our accounts mysteriously gone and them wanting us to pay to get on the site again (I remember being pissed and going to reddit to complain and reading similar stories there)
• Basically the site is really scummy and did whatever they had to do to become big so that they could make money and grift the community and is not inline with the principals most other private tracker communities promote.
• IPT Browser…
• They had a $5/ticket raffle that it’s believed the winners were fake IPT accounts

Honestly, I could probably keep this up all day if I kept thinking about it but imma stop here.

Man the general trackers are such a shit show. Back in the day I had my TL ratio drop randomly and I logged in just to see there were a bunch of downloads logged to my account that weren’t me. Went in their IRC to point it out their shit was fucked and they got all defensive and tried to make it seem like I was trying to pull something malicious on them. I just quit the site out of spite after that and went inactive.

Then I joined IPT which is sketch af, but then one day I just logged in to find my account was deleted and they wanted money or some shit to get a new one, so naturally I was outta there.

… Now I just dont have a general tracker… I guess I should be paying attention to the suggestions here too lol

PS
I miss SCC

There’s also the longer term effect that could be in play of the content pool drying up and driving users away, those changes are reverberations and wouldn’t be having a dramatic immediate effect.

Right now if anything I’d expect views to be spiking due to the content generated from the drama itself. Once that dies out then damages to content generation from driving away users will be more evident.
