Unoriginal? When I started using HMA a couple of years ago, there were practically no real competitors!
They had the highest number of VPN nodes all over the world, a dozen of IPs per country compared to 1-2 for other services.
The app was also easy to use and worked without problems, had no disconnects AND disabled your internet connection IF you did get disconnected for whatever reason, not exposing your real IP.
That may have been lip service though, because even their ToS stated "we'll turn your info over to the authorities at the first request, no offense" :-) but technically, it worked well..
