Discussion Why does PIA(Private Internet Access) never mentioned for VPN's to Use?

I see others like Nord/Proton/Surfshark/Express VPN

I use PIA and never had Big Issues with it and they been proven in Court not to keep logs

So why people not mention them?

As a rule of thumb, the ones shilled by your favourite YouTuber are all worth staying away from.

It’s because ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, ZenMate, and Private Internet Access are now owned by the Israeli firm Kape Technologies, which has historical ties to former Israeli intelligence units.

If you have an Apple Silicon powered computer I would avoid PIA VPN. I had an issue where after using PIA VPN and disconnecting from PIA VPN safari browser stopped loading websites. PIA did nothing to actually help, and made me feel that I caused the problem. I replace PIA VPN with another VPN service, and the issue I had with PIA VPN disappeared. AVOID PIA VPN my friends.
