the devil you don’t
You’re saying the reputable company is a devil we don’t know? If you want to be dishonest, try a bit harder.
What you should say is “What’s better? The devil you know or the unknown entity that claims to be an angel (and that hasn’t been caught doing bad things since its existence, a few years)?”

Knowing a company is watching me because it’s openly known, is to me better than paying a company to not watch me and likely risk them simply selling out eventually like they all do.
Its funnier when you expected them to protect you and don’t.
It’s like 23andme. Too fucking funny and everyone deserves it for their stupidity.

VPN companies have a low interest in selling user data. Their business model is pretty profitable already, and any leak of this would instantly kill the brand.
There’s no reason for proton and mullvad to sell user data. They would be legally liable and they would break their profitable companies
