What are the advantages of using a private tracker? (lemmy.ca)

I've been using public trackers for the past 20 years, and never had a problem with them. I never got any virus or malware, and almost always found what I was looking for. What I couldn't find through public trackers, I'd find it with soulseek. So I'm wondering what are the actual advantages of using private trackers?

There are some specialty content, such as British TV and Asian TV and movies, or complete archives of porn sites, that don't appear regularly on public torrent sites, or streaming sites for that matter.

If you never watch that kind of thing, then you don't need to sign up for a private tracker.
