Yeah, it sure can, but most of the stuff I'm dealing with is older or niche. I have one that's about to hit two months still sitting at 0.96. True to my word, though, I've bumped up ratios across most of what I have.
I often look for older or niche content, and even for that I still often have plenty of takers on public trackers. That my machine is port forwarded might have something to do with it. I'd say I have a "medium" amount of disk space and only stop seeding when I delete the files, but sometimes I limit the upload rate to keep some for other activities.
I'm not downloading things for the sake of having them to share. It's a narrow intersection between things that I want, and things that I have the space to keep. Because of this, you and I might have different definitions of niche. And my connection wouldn't be stellar even if it weren't being sent across an ocean through a VPN. But I try to give more than I get.
