The "VPN" Scam (Why YouTubers Lie to You)

Stop. Before you use that discount code to buy a 3-year VPN plan, you need to watch this. For years, your favorite creators have told you that "Public Wi-Fi is dangerous" and you need "Military-Grade Encryption" to survive. They lied. In this investigative documentary, we expose the "VPN Scam." We are debunking the massive marketing machine behind the commercial VPN industry, a sector built on technological illiteracy and the monetization of fear. We dig deep into the technology of HTTPS to explain why the "hacker in the coffee shop" story is a myth from 2010. We follow the money to uncover the perverse affiliate marketing incentives that turn trustworthy tech influencers into fear-mongering salesmen. We also investigate the shadowy corporate monopolies like Kape Technologies that own the "independent" review sites you trust, and reveal why "No Logs" policies are often legal fiction. From the "Trust Shifting" paradox to the dangers of Free VPNs, this is the ultimate guide to online privacy that the sponsors don't want you to see.
