NordVPN and ExpressVPN are both garbage but still better than nothing. If you think they're completely worthless, please start torrenting a few gigabytes regularly w/o one and report back (assuming you live in a country that respects IP law). Mullvad VPN has never let me down and there's a very strong incentive for them to not share information with any parties that would be relevant to me.

I honestly didn't even make it through this video. Can anyone explain what the argument here is? Couldn't decipher a reasonable one within the first 3 minutes and it seemed like a waste of time.
