I’ve been using one but I’m not sure what benefits I’m getting from it. I feel like the only thing happening is I’m adding a little bit of latency to all my requests for no reason.

Piracy is actually not the reason to use a VPN, pirates use a VPN to be anonyme and not to pirate content.
Similar as you would not say a hammer is a tool that can be used to hit something and not a hammer is used by construction wormers and burglars.
Agree to disagree.
It is a main reason to use a VPN, that’s for sure.
It is not the only one, but any pirate in countries like Germany that does not use a VPN is cooked.
But other solutions work also. And all of those provide anonymity and are not a VPN. For example I2P, TOR and Seedboxes in other countries may even be paid anonymously.
Pirates use anonymity in order to avoid being detected, and those tools provide anonymity.
