No, I do pay for Usenet access and tracker, way better easier than torrenr private trackers. Ateast, I have a way better service for the money.
Way faster download speed, way less wait, way less stress: no ratios no shenanigans. Just find and download.
I just don't need or want to pay for a VPN to use private trackers.
I also use public torrents and as I said, I do seed for long time.
