Yeah, this is why I went the usenet route mostly, people aren't whining about community in the usenet world. They just take cash and get it done. There's not a good indexer that doesn't take cash.

I'm just looking for more 2160p really, but so far no trackers I've found, public or private have satisfied that. Usenet has actually given the best result so far.

Unfortunately, community is what leads to content. There's an insane amount of stuff that's available on private torrent trackers that hasn't ever touched Usenet and the kinds of people with access to it aren't the kinds of people to put it on Usenet.
