I've always thought private trackers were more dangerous since you can't use a VPN. Seems like all it would take is one fed or MPAA (or the like) agent joining and they have a treasure trove of info to investigate.
Invites (at least on the trackers I'm on) are seldom available, and are generally only available to long term members with very high ratios who generally have the most vested interest in keeping the tracker free of narcs.
This is also why private trackers are useless to 99.99% of piraters most of them have been completely sealed up for years. People claim there's ways to "work your way in" but it's too much bullshit to deal with with no guarantee. Ones that occasionally open up like TL are way too crowded with no way to maintain your ratio easily
