MODERATORS
Some of them log your payment credentials, why would you want your VPN provider to have access to your real name and banking details? Even if you are not pirating content, its just creepy allowing them to do that to you.
Unless you have somekind of a weird fetish that you enjoy knowing that when you browse the web you are not alone and being watched lol
Even if you trust them, the VPN provider is the single most important provider you don't want to know details about you. That is because they are the ones who will also know about your real IP address.
Proton is a solid choice, they have awesome plans to bundle it with their email services afaik.
But when it comes to "trust" I also trust my grocery store service, but I like to have the ability to just pay with cash and not have them log me by name each time I enter their store and what I'm looking at while in there, its creepy and unethical and we should not support those services.
