What is the benefit to joining private torrents? (kbin.social)

Apologies if this is a basic question, but I am curious to know what I am missing out on by not having access to private torrents? I have been able to find everything I wanted using public ones.

Content you may not be able to find elsewhere (for example, MySpleen has tons of old discontinued/out of print content), as well as you aren't going to find copyright holders in private tracker swarms monitoring for IP's to have infringement notices sent to.

Downside: If you don't like seeding, you get to fuck yourself and get used to liking seeding or you lose your account.
