I like AirVPN

You really don’t get having to pay for things, do you?

It’s easier and nicer. But it’s also shitty because of what you mentioned.

The thing is, that’s how it’s going to stay unless people stop using it. You can get this info you mentioned somewhere else, or simply don’t need it, as I said, yes it’s harder and less nice to live without it, but it’s not like you can’t live without live traffic data or whatever. Start using CoMaps, contribute to open street map, leave reviews on other review aggregators, etc etc
