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?

Dead torrents are a lot less common as people are often rewarded for seeding torrents for long periods of time or seeding torrents with very few seeds. You often get faster download speeds on torrents with few seeds as people often use seedboxes to maintain ratio.
