I don't think I'd prefer this, tbh. I would want to see the whole topic information when choosing what exact torrent to download. Is it marked "verified" or "questionable"? If it's "questionable", is it for some arbitrary formality, or something like "the audio is desynced"? Are there many different dubs (because I'd rather prefer not to have them, as they're bloating the files?)...
When it comes to movies/shows, I generally just trust the listing; there's no real risk, particularly as I'm not a quality whore.
For games/programs, I'll mostly just check the download page to ensure it's from a verified, trustworthy group.
Mostly though, I've never felt the need to be as paranoid as some people suggest one must be when torrenting; despite doing this for 20+ years, I've not had any incidents since I was about 12 years old.
This a good point but, do you browse torrent sites? There are much better tools available these days, than torrent sites. I mean, it was always the case that Usenet was quicker but even with that, there's options available such as the *Arr stack.
I might be misremembering, but wasn't YIFY/YTS known for their awful quality ultra compressed releases? I thought they closed down many years ago tho, so no idea if they are the same people or if they still focus on low-quality releases.
Not those exact markings, but TPB does have user-markings displayed that can serve as a vouch for credibility.

You can turn it on in `View -> Search engine`. Then a new tab will appear next to the main transfers one. You can (have to?) add search plugins, which is done from the same search tab (look for a button in the bottom right). And I think to remember you need to have Python installed for the search tab to work, but qBittorrent should prompt you automatically for it.
I might be misremembering something, so ask again if something I said didn't work or wasn't where I said.
Free extra tip: did you know qBittorrent has support for themes? I got a pretty clean dark theme one, but no way I can remember the name or where I found it.
I think you can add add-ons for additional trackers, even private ones I think, but I've always just used the ones that qBittorrent comes with and I can find almost everything I look for.
