Dont get me wrong, i use adblock. But i entered one without it enabled to test, and it was filled with malware ads that i closed the site immediatly. Why do trackers owners use malware ads, and not regular/gambling website ads? it would get more people to the site (= more money) and people without adblock would be more likely to return.

They don't. Only shitty trackers. Every tracker I use has zero ads. A thing called private trackers exist. Every good torrent site has zero ads.

If you can't get in a private tracker and don't want ads, usenet is better than public trackers anyways.

Private trackers >/= usenet > public trackers

You don't need to speak in absolutes dude. There are definitely good public trackers out there that use ads. No reason to get all angry about it.
