Why would they propose free turbo mode with uploader status if it was an exit scam? I personally don't think they will bother to do so since they are the largest pt by far, I would see a scam like that for small pt that are not able to get bigger. They probably received so much new uploaders status that they can't keep up right now, according to their saying they are also writing new API. That being said, ygg team have never been seen as nice people but that was the same for t411 (most are probably from t411 anyway)

They probably didn't expected such a backslash :).

I hope i'm wrong ! If i'm wrong I will probably only download rare things and upload them on another tracker without seeding back to them...

This is totally anti-piracy mentality... And their arguments to block bots, multi-account and non seeders are just bullshit...

They had just to code the same thing every tracker does... SEEDING TIME and BONUS points ! People asked for years for such an implementation... But here we are with another paywall...
