How can everyone on a private tracker maintain seed ratios above 1? Is it mathematically impossible? (lemmy.ml)

I know that private trackers require users to maintain a good seed ratio. How exactly does that work out mathematically? If a bunch of users have seed ratios above 1, does that mean that there are some users who will forever be below 1, and thus end up getting kicked out, thus resulting in the private tracker just... shrinking over time?

You don’t have to, private trackers have systems to deal with this. On MAM, for example, you get points for seeding, regardless of whether or not somebody is downloading from you. I stopped keeping track of my ratio months ago, but last time I looked it was like 23 and I have somewhere above 150 freeleech tokens. So basically nothing I ever download is gonna be held against me.

Love MAM but hate it doesn't support mobile clients. All of my seeding is mainly done on my old android.
