> don't want another Kape Technologies acquisition

Purely for schadenfreude, do we have any evidence the volume of leavers was meaningful?

They definitely don't post about it.

I closed my account with PIA right after the sellout was announced. I received several emails with form letters about Kape actually being really dedicated to privacy and you can totally trust them buying PIA. Made me think that they took a noticeable hit.

They began offering much more generous deals on PIA after the aquisition, so I'm guessing enough people left for it to affect their bottom line.
