I use them as well, simply because they had a screaming deal for 3 years of service, it seems plenty fast and stable, and my threat model is pretty much just keeping my torrenting private.
My plan is to jump ship when my plan expires in a couple of months. I only have indexers going though it these days as 99% of my “data sourcing” is done via Usenet over SSL and the VPN isn’t technically required in that case.
I still use PIA, but only for a couple of things running in containers. I use wireguard as my private vpn for my own services

Do you have any thoughts on the Kape buyout? https://usernotices.com/finance-and-business/advertising/who-is-the-new-owner-of-pia
Because of who Kape is, and their ties to Israeli military, I personally consider them a threat actor instead of a valid VPN choice for my needs.
