He makes a pretty good point near the end of the video where he claims that reviews are only a catalyst, and only speed up whatever trajectory the company is already on. Assuming that the reviews are honest and objective I agree with this point 100%.

Ultimately the quality of the product or service on offer steer the ship, the reviews are just the wind.

Wow, thanks for taking the time to type that explanation! Your response was much easier to understand vs what i got trying to google.

It's clear now that a private torrent tracker is more in line with what I originally wanted, but I'll hang around the Usenet community to try and learn more as it seems really cool. I kinda wish i found out about it 20 years ago but it's never too late to learn!

Nope you are correct, and I just revealed that im clueless about Usenet in a public forum... To a community of it's users 🤡.

Thanks for the explanation, now it's clicking in my brain why all of the Usenet trackers I hear about are all private... They likely wouldn't be around very long if they were distributing linux iso's from their own servers to the general public.

I have been seeding public torrent trackers for a few years and recently learned about Usenet.

I figured I'de take this shot in the dark and see if I can get a peek behind the curtain into the world of private trackers and maybe meet some like minded folk.

I have a NAS that i use as a 24\7 seedbox and will redownload media I already have just to raise my all time upload and ratio, i like to treat it like a high score 😄
