Trying to keep a public torrent alive is hard work, but someone has to do it.
Back when I had VDSL and even ADSL, I’d try to hit 1.1 ratio because if everyone did that the risk of information being lost would be close to 0%. Nowadays with gigabit internet, all that prevents me from seeding is hard drive space, and 8 TB doesn’t fill up quickly with how few good movies and series there are these days. I guess that’s one way to stop piracy, just make fewer and worse series/movies.
“Good” is in the eye of the beholder. Have you considered that the quality hasn’t changed much, but instead you’ve become more discerning as you age? I certainly have far less tolerance for the stupid shit I used to think was funny long ago.
Unfortunately BitTorrent clients are kinda messy and don’t make it easy to maintain a long term seeding library.
I’ve moved to qbittorrent which is a bit better than Deluge on that regard, but it’s still not great.

I get that. I used to think The Big Bang Theory was funny
*shudder*
Depends on the comparison. Better than sitting in silence, worse than touching grass.

I used to use Deluge as well but have been really happy with Transmission for years now
