- bilekas 4y agoThey're certainly not doing it out of the goodness of their heart. Or for the goodness of privacy online.. Doesn't leave many good options but you can be sure, they're not losing money.
- Ekaros 4y agoI have always wondered about these providers. Their margins must be amazing considering they can justify this amount of influencer marketing. Or is there also big amount of VC money they are still burning through? Usually the offers in addition have pretty good discounts from original price.
- yurishimo 4y agoI wish I had a source, but I've heard guesses as high as 90% profit for most VPN subscriptions. Especially overloaded and bloated garbage VPNs. Most people don't know they're being throttled by the VPN if they only use it to watch Netflix.
- risyachka 4y agoBecause they have huge margins and high LTV. Every company who has these spend as much as they can on user acquisition. Why wouldn't they?
- AtNightWeCode 4y agoI am 100% sure that some of these services are state sponsored. NordVPN in particular have been associated with "some" countries. You have to be a complete moron to buy a service like this for privacy. You buy it for getting away with simple crimes like piracy.
