If you want to be private and anonymous online, just use a VPN! Now you're safe from all the bad guys online, right? The VPN industry makes a lot of claims. ...

Not affiliated with the author, I just really like their videos.

Sometimes I think their all honeypots regardless of brand or documentation proving otherwise. Its the easiest way allowing people to auto filter themselves into more likely to be nefarious without overhead and legwork. Analog or bust.

I like his videos too and I think this is one of the better ones I’ve seen on this topic. Still, it has been absolutely done to death at this point, to the extent that I find the “don’t trust VPNs” videos to be just as annoying as the VPN ads themselves. I wish everyone would just shut the fuck up about VPNs lol

You’ll notice that whenever something has an impact on Five Eyes entities, propaganda and for/against articles will blast every possible social media.

I get it. The problem is that the target audience doesn’t watch these videos. We all have that one friend who thinks VPNs make you invisible.
