The Gay Pirate Assassins should rule the world.
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.
Tom Scott makes great content.
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.
For info: the actual sponsor was going to be nordvpn.
One of my favorite tom Scott videos
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.
The newest hype recently are services that supposedly help you remove your personal info from data brokers. It makes me wonder why all of a sudden a lot of companies are clamoring to "help" you remove all your data from all these supposed databases.
Just give me your name, credit card number, date of birth, first pet's name and mother's maiden name and I'll make sure nobody has those.
