This quote is very telling of journalism today. Many internet publications and YouTube videos are just listcle machines and company marketing hype generators with very little actual investigative work.

- eric__cartman 5y agoIsn't it known already that a lot of tech journalists on YouTube don't do much besides read a spec sheet while standing in front of a nice background, playing with cool camera gear? Even mainstream channels that I consider decent like LinusTechTips very often stretch something that could be said in 2:30 minutes into a 10+ minute long video, making me feel like I'm wasting my time when I could read a few different articles in that same timespan and be better informed. Not to mention the typical bullshit overselling of the capabilities of a VPN, while realistically for the average user the most useful thing about a VPN is being able to watch region locked content and torrent movies without getting a letter from their ISP. For any serious need for privacy using something like the Tor network is the best choice.
