Are VPN's really worth it nowadays?

I have REDACTED as a VPN provider, and their service and software is excellent.

As for the main question I find using a VPN all the time to be a worse and worse experience. Google will drive you insane with Capchas (because we know they want that sweet, sweet data location info for the ad services…)

And some websites just plain refuse to work if they detect a VPN address. Don’t believe me? put your VPN on and try to visit this site: https://www.canadacomputers.com.

Basically I have found using a VPN to become more and more frustrating to use. The only good thing it seems to be for nowadays is downloading stuff from certain sites. And that’s about it.

Anyways, what your your thoughts and feelings?

p.s. Why am I not allowed to post my VPN provider on a subreddit about VPN’s?

I’m in China and a VPN is absolutely essential. In fact, get two in case one doesn’t work. The Google picture recognising thingy is annoying as fuck, and I just use DuckDuckGo instead.
