I don’t remember all the details but their CEO said some unprompted pro Trump things and the retraction was halfhearted. That, combined with a couple cases like freezing journalists accounts that may or may not have been compromised (thus permissible to freeze imo), harmed their reputation among this community.
I’m not in the loop enough to be an expert so please correct me. Their solutions currently work for me as a rando nobody that wanted a fast VPN that wasn’t YouTuber shilled.
They also just recently banned a journalist after a request from a questionable cyber security company that was being reported on. They ignored and refused to reinstate the account until the story started making the rounds on social media, then made a very poor attempt at ass covering excuses.

Ahhh I missed that one! Appreciate it, I will probably move to mullvad next renewal.
I just left a comment on here about email, not realizing you were talking about VPN. Sorry for the unnecessary notification.

They also ratted out environmental activists to a kinda neo-fascist government as if they were christian terrorists.
