Hidden PBNS ...?

Yep. Only software crawlers are blocked. The Google bot is still allowed so the link gets picked up. That way the PBN stays hidden for 3rd party providers but not for Google.
Then what is the point in hiding them?
Google can still crawl and see the link. Only bots from Ahrefs, Majestic etc are getting blocked making it hidden for analyzing in software.
Anyway you can see your competitors hidden PBNs?
No thats why they are called 'hidden PBN'. LoL. The point is this 1. You block all the crawler bots from Ahrefs, majestic and other software. 2. You dont block Google bot so it sees your link. 3. Google crawls link, and competitors dont see your hidden link. 4. WIN-WIN
I thought PBN was Private Blog Network.
So most of the "PBNs" sold here are considered "Public"
Let's say I want my money site to benefit from a Private network; does that involve buying a good metric domain?

Hidden PBNs are not hidden on Google's end, which makes it one of the riskiest ways to rank a website. Also, this search engine is monitoring sites with PBNs for penalties. On the other hand, it can work well for a website since it's one of the most significant ranking factors. Furthermore, you can try alternative ways like renting or buying links.
Is it risky if you're just using hidden pbns for blog posts?

it involves building up the network yourself so only you have access to it and its not shared with others.
you can even use new domains and build up the PBN sites over time, that just takes longer.
when you buy an expired domain with backlinks and use it as PBN domain it will save some time though and you dont have to promote it as much.
