    I’m so glad he said it. I’ve always wondered why everyone claims they do things that they can’t when there are genuinely good reasons for a VPN. Like just be honest and people will want them.

    Can I just say how refreshing it is to see this take on VPNs being normal on this community? I used to try to talk honestly about how unnecessary VPNs are for the vast majority on Reddit and I would always get downvoted. Even linking this video would get downvoted.

    The only parts of this video that are relevant to piracy are: 1) does it prevent your ISP from seeing your traffic (it does), and 2) can you trust a VPN when they say they have a “no logging” policy (depends on the VPN but IMO there are several that can be trusted). The rest is just debunking false marketing claims about how VPNs improve your security or whatever.
