I’ve been on private trackers since demonid went down. Its the only way to sail, I’ve had zero issues and the content is heavily moderated for quality.
No kidding. I pirate for the convenience of downloading whatever I want. I’m not interested in joining the cool kids club by trying to keep up with what’s freeleech and stress about how to maintain a ratio lest face their wrath.

I’ve never stressed over my ratio
Public trackers are great for when everything you’re looking for is common or freshly released/uploaded.
Ppl looking for niche content, it’s not gonna be on public trackers.
Also the main benefit of private vs Public is that you can find a 10-15 year old torrent of some niche content and it will still be actively seeded.
With public trackers, there is less retention of seeders, even more so for less common content.
Public trackers often end up with tons of dead torrents with 0-1 seeders after a couple years pass.
And on a private tracker there is incentive to keep old torrents alive. On public there is none. Ppl grab and run.
Then that just means everything you’re looking for is common or freshly released/uploaded.
Ppl looking for niche content, it’s not gonna be on public trackers as often.

I like private trackers but they sometimes have arbitrary limitations on some clients and I don’t like that

I know, I was referring to some limitations such as the Freebox torrent client which is embedded in routers made by a French ISP
