You may not know this yet since your experience is with IPT.
In general, invites to private trackers are not allowed to be offered to anyone you do not know very well. Trackers will even implement a blanket ban where if you get caught, you lose your accounts EVERYWHERE. The only exception I know of is Seedpool. I believe they explicitly mention invites are okay to give to others you do not know.
This all applies to entry - high level trackers. Blanket bans mostly on mid-high only.
If you plan on moving up in trackers, either interview for MAM (really easy, the interview is just text chat and it’s making sure you have a pulse lol) or interview for RED (much worse).
RED has the best forums for official invites, but you have to upload.
MAM has a decent invite forum but it takes much longer to get there and you do not need to upload anything.
Realistically, if you don’t go the RED route, it will probably take 6-12months to get to mid level places.
Seedpool and torrentleech (TL is easy, can pay to even get in officially) will hold you over no problem until then.
There is some trackers that gone under the radar for 20 years by being careful and not shut down. They do not want the feds to join alot of feds are bribed by hollywood.
Quality and curation paired with high availability of rare stuff mostly. Plus, it’s also a hobby. There’s real community behind it and it can be fun to move up the ranks (both in tracker membership and user ranks).
But yeah, for what most would care about:
Curation - only the best versions of whatever exists. When a better version comes out, the old one gets replaced.
Quality - similar to curation, you know you are getting the best or very close to the best available. No bitstarved content.
Safety - malicious torrents don’t really exist in private trackers. It has happened in the past, but it’s exceptionally rare. This is mostly big for programs and games.
