frankly, I don't even really use it. My tastes are pretty vanilla too. I had a friend who used to download shit tons of movies and music and got a VPN for that reason.
No, since you have to trust your VPN-provider not to give out your information, which they all do if the government comes knocking.
Possible. If the US gov't says the silver or the lead, the VPN provider is gonna cooperate. BUT they might not. Any archiving of traffic would have to be done in addition to basic VPN functionality.
Better to stay anonymous amongst all the other billions. Blend in with the crowd.
American ISP's are owned by media conglomerates; VPN's can't guarantee the provider isn't a cunt, but it seems more likely the American ISP would.
True, that's why you never put out personal information on the net. And intentionally on your common accounts use other computers in other areas and provide disinfo.
Most of all, if you do illegal shit, don't do it on the internet and never talk about it.

They can only give out what they have logs for; and the good ones keep very little in the way of logs, and keep them in a different jurisdiction to the US.
They still keep them, trust me, they might say they don't, but they do. Especially the really shady ones who really tries to hide your VPN.
They keep them, just in case the government comes knocking. Or threatens you to jail or worse if you do not give up your clients who uses stuff for "terrorism" or "criminal activity".
Most likely though, they are indirectly owned and run by government agencies. Like the Tor-browser and the onion-network.
I don't. I got caught downloading "Halfaxa" by Grimes without paying for it. I was sent to jail. I was raped and had my front teeth knocked out. I have night terrors now. I did, however, get to listen to "Halfaxa" by Grimes for free.

(Serious question) Would that be when you are looking at conservative news sites or porn?
My porn is pretty vanilla (with a lot of anal), but I like checking out all news sources and am afraid I will end up like Seth Rich

That message had to self destruct, so I hope you saw it.

Well, if you say so, anonymous stranger on the Internet who directly contradicts written statements by companies.
(Worth noting that PIA closed all of their Russian endpoints, after Putin brought in some requirement to log their use.)
