it all depends what you do, the average person honestly does not need a VPN, is it still "nice"? sure, getting over streaming restrictions or getting cheaper flights, and if you desire to sail the seas to any degree than also yeah get a VPN, and ofc, getting over porn bans
Love the people coming into the privacy community to say they don't value privacy rather than explaining the limits of a VPN in that regard
The average person doesn't know how to use a VPN, either. They turn it on once, expect magic, and don't go beyond that.
