Did you never wonder why VPN ads don't really list any actual use cases, yet they're wildly popular? If you know what you need it for, the ad doesn't have to tell you - just has to tell you which company to give your money to.
- jrockway 1y agoVPN ads do list actual use cases. The most popular one I've heard is geolocation-based pricing on airline tickets. (I still don't really know what people are actually using VPNs for.)
