In this episode, we explore why I no longer use a VPN (most of the time) and nor should you.==============================SUGGESTED==========================...
I’ve watched this video and it is a very flawed video.
To begin with, CLICKBAIT TITLE. If you watch the video he says he still uses a VPN sometimes that being Mullvad.
Furthermore, somewhere in the video he mentions something along the lines of “I’m not really worried because I’m not doing anything illegal” essentially implying if you’re not doing anything illegal then you got nothing to hide, which has been debunked many many many times.
Sun is speaking from a privacy perspective, and he’s basically saying don’t blindly trust your VPN provider, almost all cybersecurity researchers agree on this, Sparks is not a security researcher, he’s a VPN reviewer ( and I watched his content for 2 years now ), he reviews VPN mostly from a user/customer perspective not from a privacy and Security perspective, meaning he cares about giving you the best VPN in terms or pricing, speed, how many servers are available, umm … Features such as split tunneling, adblocking… Being cross Platform, heck even the payment method must be easy… This is Not what a privacy minded individual should look for when reviewing a VPN… According to Tom Sparks nowadays the best VPN deal is from TorGuard… Yes they seem Privacy minded ( but their product is proprietary so how can you trust it )
I stopped watching Sparks reviews because A - he ran out of Content months ago, B - he started giving bad takes such as the ones in this video
Mullvad advocating for online privacy is their marketing strategy!! ( seriously! seriously!! )
Why would NordVPN a company that’s worth billions of dollars be a honeypot? ( yeah Facebook is trillion dollar company and they used a VPN app as a honeypot, Big companies can be honeypots, surprise, surprise )
If you’ve got something you’re that worried about keeping private, go home, and break everything with a computer chip, a radio/network. Because if it’s not listening now, it’s only an update away.

I agree that Tom Spark does not have the best takes, mainly him showing some hatred towards Mullvad, but he still has valid criticisms of this video
