I also learned this. Since my PIA renewal is due soon, I'm curious about the details. Anyone have any thoughts?

I've only recently come across their updates. I searched for recent developments but didn’t find any information. It seems the changes Linus mentions could relate more to their business operations rather than consumer impact. For instance, they might have adjusted how they track earnings from referrals—shifting from a simple pay-per-sign-up model to one that considers usage duration. This could affect revenue for sponsor placements, making them reconsider certain partners over time. They likely run these experiments gradually to collect data, which explains why they don’t make immediate decisions. I might be misunderstanding, but this makes sense given the lack of public news about changes. If you trusted PIA last week, there were no updates to suggest a loss of trust now.
