Sell me on private trackers

I'll admit it - I have a pretty normie media diet. Rarely have trouble finding a movie or tv show I'm interested in on the big public trackers like 1337x, TPB, and rarbg. I don't really use torrents for any other media - even music is covered through my spotify account (thank god music streaming hasn't fractured like TV and film). So my torrent habits are pretty selfish, I download stuff and then pretty much immediately delete the torrent (I know, I'm the worst).

Now, to me it seems like a lot of effort to get an invite, build a reputation, get more invites over and over until I have access to the "good" private trackers. I get that the tradeoff is mostly about better security. But I run all my shit through a vpn with a killswitch already. And since I only download media and never software (games are cheap enough on pc) I feel like my exposure to malware is minimal.

So, in my position, is it really worth it to go to all the trouble of delving into the private tracker business? And why would I want to? Thanks for your time.
