Do you people really believe this? Holy shit.

I agree it's not a great reason but they pile up (the reasons). As well as my previous reasons they also offer significantly more payment methods than many other options, including monero and even cash.

They are also not based inside the 5 eyes.

Oh and they offer completely anonymous account creation. I have not found a single VPN that does this, every other VPN at least requires a e-mail address.

If you think mullvad is nothing special then I challenge you to find another VPN that offers all of the reasons I have specified.

Thanks. Taking monero and not being in the 5 eyes are both good selling points that can set it apart from other VPNs.
