I seed more on public than on provate tbh, why? Because there are way more leechers on public than on private or even semi private, the number of time I keep a torrent to seed and it stays at a ratio of 0 because it's a dark things that probably get downloaded once a year... So I use some fake seed software because otherwise I'm not able to see it anyway... it's sad and don't make me happy, but sometime it's the only way...
That's why I have abandoned private trackers. I only use public ones with a seed ratio of 2, because I like giving back. Everything else is downloaded with Real-Debrid and jDownloader2 (mostly OCHs or sometimes torrents, when there aren't much/any seeders and the speed is unacceptably slow).
Most trackers have minimum time after which you can stop seeding, and reseed request system where you are notified if anyone wants a dead torrent to be reseeded.
