I've seen many videos talking about how VPN's don't actually provide much security, you're just letting the VPN company see what you search for instead of your ISP. Does anyone know more about this?

I think what you already said is true.

Not sure if it actually does anything security-wise, but you could access region-locked content like games, apps or shows. That's really all I use it for.

most vpn providers say they're not keeping logs. guess you'll have to trust them on that. NordVPN works fine for me.

VPN are great for region locked / Ip banned on game

but if it touch illegal stuff, go for No log vpn (and NordVPN is shit for that)

The trick should be to select a VPN who will not store your data. So yes, they could monitor you, but they might not. If they don't store your access data, there is no way to prove if it was you who visited a certain site, even if they get subpoenead

The more a VPN advertises, the less you should trust it. just a rule of thumb

Yeah VPNs are good for getting around region-locked content. There are some Netflix shows that only air in certain countries. They're also good for getting around any restrictions that a government places on the internet in certain countries like China or Turkey I've seen.
