$14.99 Netflix subscription

$11.99 Gamepass subscription

$11.99 Spotify Premium subscription

Want more than one networks programming? Hulu/Max/Paramount/Peacock all cost around the same

ISP still sells your damn data to advertisers

OR

$5 Mullvad subscription.

You tell me what makes more sense.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend Mullvad for Torrenting. They blocked port forwarding, making seeding and thus contributing back to the network that much slower

I just went for ProtonVPN since (next to iVPN I think) it's the only other one to at least be partially OSS and still viable for daily-use

Thats fair, and I agree with you for torrenting, its the one thing I wish they'd change. For privacy though, I feel like Mullvad is leading the pack. (Not having to provide an email, crypto and/or cash payments, DAITA)

Yes shame about Mullvad. AirVPN still allows port forwarding though.

Now days I just stick to private trackers while using a cheap European VPS setup with wireguard. Only saves me a couple of bucks a month compared to VPN service but it adds up.
