VPNs are pricey snake oil.

Consumers are getting scammed by misleading marketing.

I've never met a user with an accurate understanding of just how modestly, if at all, VPNs address their security & privacy concerns.

Time for the industry to get regulatory scrutiny.
The VPN industry nurtures the impression that they actually do things like:

- Stopping malware (NOPE!)
- Hiding you from tracking (mostly NOPE, remember cookies, etc?)

They soak consumers for millions while creating a false sense of security.
The VPN industry is increasingly consolidated.

Can you trust the big companies with your data?

We don't know.

Some of the biggest players actually have a shady history with... exploiting users traffic.

Oh, and they own a bunch of VPN review sites.
