Repeat after me: I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth!

I have to ask, because clearly, the more articles and testimonials I read here and elsewhere, the more I think that it's all just mirages, myths and legends...

Question is: in my scenario*, do you think I have a real chance of joining a tracker such as BTN** or PTP** in the coming months or 50 next years...?

(\*) Probably the only ones that might really be worth waiting for and putting in a little effort (and I mean a little: I'll come back to that later...): that's what people say... But I'm also interested in serious (means quality-first) and more open (-lol-) alternatives.*

I have:

English is not my native language, and even though I have a good understanding of technical stuff, the subtleties widely used in this field make it extremely complicated to correctly integrate and operate the necessary things (our dear elites may be forgetting that for a moment maybe...).

Come on! Let's be realistic for a second, give the truth: YES or NO.

If it's just to hear the mythic sentence "meet trustworthy people and prove yourself", thank you, but there's no point. I've already read that a million times and spent hours and hours of my time on these subjects (and I've heard some real gems of that kind before, I can assure you, like fake "friend" feedbacks and more, god!). I've come to understand that this is the usual cold spiel they give to newbies. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not one anymore since a long time. I have many years of XP in these stuff, principles compatibles (well, I thought...), and quality content that is more than quantity (even if a lot anyway). If that's not enough, then I'm giving up all this for good. Life is too short to waste time endlessly.

Seeing all these newbies racing each other in the r/OpenSignups and other Roman arenas for a few measly invites to apply or even part of info, it's so pitiful that we've come to this. It's like the first hours of opening at Apple Stores on the day a new iPhone is released, no kidding. And what's it all really for? The primary motivation behind all this? Hmm? If it's truly private, then it's truly closed. Let's stop playing the Hunger Games now!

I think it's even easier to join a NEAVY seals unit or NASA these days... Let's come back down a bit to earth now. I already get a lot of quality items and effortless through means other than trackers. So, yes, the "best" trackers are not the promised land, as many people seem to say, but simply a good another tool to grab/share quality stuff as a gateway. As far as I'm concerned, it's just a supplement, and above all a good way to redistribute. I insist on this last point, because like I already said in another topic, I'm so much more interested in giving than taking. But if it means having to k-ss -ss (or worse) some "elite" peoples for years with no guarantee of getting anything worthwhile in return, then I'll keep my archives private, just for me and my close friends (my real ones, yeah). Maybe I will also take this opportunity of this time saved to promote other more open and tolerant networks...

And yes, even if not everyone shares equally elsewhere, because what's wrong with that? Do you think you know what true sharing is? Maybe we need to redefine that sharing means today and what it should be? Whatever, I'm done.

Thank you,
You may proceed.

No. It will take more than 1 year, so more than "months".

Yes. You can go from MAM to PTP in about 2.5 to 5 years, depending which route you take.

For MAM to BTN, the quickest route is a little less than 2 years and the longest route is about 5 years.

All the information is spelled out clearly on https://invite.icu/

Start by joining MAM through the interview process: https://www.myanonamouse.net/inviteapp.php

It's extremely easy. Just be polite. Read (or at least skim) the rules before taking the interview. It's an open book test, so you can refer to the rules during the interview.

Give short, factual, concise answers to the questions. Don't go off-topic. Don't speculate. Don't give your opinion. They are just asking you to confirm you know what the rules say. Treat it like a test you'd take in school where the teacher is looking for one specific answer - the right answer - and will be annoyed if you add unnecessary information or stray from the one right answer.

Also, as I said in another comment, I think for most people, for most practical purposes, Aither is roughly the same level of quality as PTP or BTN. The path from MAM to Aither is only 6 months. So, that journey you could make in a matter of months.

No constructive. Next.

Don't do drugs kids.

This is why condoms should be made freely available in developing countries

I mean it won’t be easy. There are pathways through tracker forums. Just find the site that shows the pathways and do that.

Why must you share only on the top of the top? Why not become a part of a community in a mid level tracker? You’ll have more to upload there anyways. You’ll be 1000x more helpful filling out mid level trackers than you will be on something like PTP. I know being a part of the most exclusive clubs feels good, I get it, but honestly I find I get a lot of joy off of getting “thanks” on uploaded torrents and being active in IRC in mid levels. At the end of the day trackers are primarily community tbh. At least imo.

Yes, reaching so called high tier trackers are hard. Your options are a) get invited by a user b) get an official invitations from other trackers' forums c) be there when there are open signups/applications.

This system might sound unfair, but it's there because it works.

What the fuck did I read?

Was your question rhetorical with the objective of making a slam poetry style mic drop? Am I supposed to snap my fingers? 

unless you know someone that is willing to invite you, the only reliable way into PTP/BTN/HDB is via official recruitment: https://www.reddit.com/r/TrackersInfo/wiki/official_recruitments/

If you aren't in any trackers yet that they recruit from, the fastest way is via RED. Yes, it requires 1 year of account age for BTN and 2 years of account age to PTP/HDB, so you won't be able to join them via this route in a couple of months. There are no guarantees that they will still recruit from there when you hit the requirements, but at least these invite paths have been relatively stable and open consistently.

Unless you have a friend who can invite you, you have the same prospects as anyone else on no-movement trackers. Do the MAM interview and start grinding
