I’ve been using one but I’m not sure what benefits I’m getting from it. I feel like the only thing happening is I’m adding a little bit of latency to all my requests for no reason.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

Agree to disagree.
It is a main reason to use a VPN, that’s for sure.
It is not the only one, but any pirate in countries like Germany that does not use a VPN is cooked.
But other solutions work also. And all of those provide anonymity and are not a VPN. For example I2P, TOR and Seedboxes in other countries may even be paid anonymously.
Pirates use anonymity in order to avoid being detected, and those tools provide anonymity.
