I never really understood private trackers TBH or rather the reason behind them. I like the idea of publicly sharing more anyway

There are some niche private trackers which have an active community that handle quality and requests. Also they don't let just anyone create a torrent, so you can have assurances that the files have been vetted to some extent and you're not going to download something unexpected.

The advantage of private trackers is that:

torrents almost always have seeds
you can ask for re-seeds in case they aren't
torrents have a good quality
you're less likely to receive a complaint letter from copyright holders
