At a measly 200kb/s it would have taken me more than 200 days of constant downloading at “full speed” to build my media library to were it is now (3.6tb), instead of a few days…that’s not about instant fix IMO, that’s just super duper slow. Few (no?) people need true anonymity for torrenting, just enough to not be indisputably linked to it so they can’t take you to court.
I dunno how old you are, but I come from the time of internet where loading pictures happen line by line. It took me a decade or more to get my library.
I’m patient. I don’t need my stuff to be there immediately. Maybe that’s the minority, I dunno, but a little bit of anonymity and patience ain’t hurt nobody.
Old enough to have experienced the world before the internet was widely available in the “western” world. It’s not about getting things instantly, but I’m also over waiting for a week+ just to download a movie. The level of anonymity that a good VPN provides is good enough for me.

That’s cool. It’s your choice. I’m cheap and patient, so it’s all good.
