Private trackers are well known for their elitist and insufferable users. I’d like to know the reasons behind their gatekeeping. Is it just mere elitism to feel superior or are there any other reasons? I’ve heard people saying they like to have a smaller number of high quality users for long term stability. I’ve even heard people tell they’re designed to keep government and federal agents away. I’d like to hear your thoughts.
Yes we know that, but Google wouldn’t have changed the warning about private windows if it wasn’t clear a lot of people think “incognito” means the equivalent of a VPN and TOR (partially because they don’t know what VPN/TOR are).

Louder for the folks who think incognito mode saves them from prying eyes lol
THE FEDS ARE PROBABLY ALREADY HERE
Incognito mode has always been intended for prying eyes using the same browser, and it works fine for that.
