Companies requiring that you use potentially poor privacy and security protocols isn't a good thing. Using a VPN doesn't make one a bot or a spammer.

- mystraline 11mo agoTry telling that to: Discord, Microsoft, Facebook, Paypal, Google, or most any major US based service. Your account will get pre-locked due to "reputational quality" immediately. Usually, they then demand photo ID, phone number or app, or some other onerous process. If you need a VPN but dont want this "bad quality VPN smell", what you're looking for is a "residential IP VPN". Those look and smell like a Comcast IP, but are VPNs.
- _heimdall 11mo agoOh I know, I run into this frequently. I was on a work trip not long ago and had my Uber and Lyft accounts locked because (a) I use then infrequently and (b) I always have a VPN on when traveling.
- itsdrewmiller 11mo agoThey aren’t requiring it though - they are just noting it on your profile. That seems like a very reasonable approach that lets the reader decide how much it matters.
- _heimdall 11mo agoYep that was my misunderstanding, they aren't being as strict with it as I thought when skimming the article.
