You are mistaking a "concerted effort" with a general consensus that free VPNs are not a great idea. "If a service is free, you are not the customer, you are the product" is a pretty good rule of thumb. Your downvotes aren't necessarily a conspiracy here.

I couldn't find any news stories to confirm this, but given the current administration's picks, I still can't tell if you're serious.

Yes, but some constitutional literalists tend to be quite ... literal.

"The authors of the 22nd amendment clearly knew the difference between holding office and being elected to office, because the text of the amendment distinguishes between the two, yet still chose to explicitly only bar from election."

Since the 22nd amendment only explicitly bars you from being elected, it could be argued that you still meet the eligibility requirements laid out in Article II; that is, you're only explicitly barred from being elected, not from holding office.
