A little late in the game, but they're a brand I would hold in higher regard than 99% of the other providers out there. I believe that a lot of people misunderstand what exactly a VPN is and what scenarios it offers benefits of use in. I personally host my own VPN on a lowendspirit server [1] for when I'm on an untrusted WiFi network or I need to have an IP in the US (it comes in handy as a US citizen living abroad). I also use a VPN sometimes when I have a dev server (hosted on the server itself) that I'm developing/testing on since being on the same network as the server makes things easier, e.g. having a container with an API bound to the VPN network so that I can access it easily and without it being public facing. Of course there's also the shady side of VPN use. If you're doing that it might be beneficial to use the VPN within a VM with strict firewall rules, i.e. only allow incoming/outgoing to/from the VPN. Doing so allows you to only send the traffic you want to over the VPN, thus reducing your exposure to any nefarious data collection that the provider might be doing.
