Lol this site is a joke, how much is TunnelBear paying him for the top spot? They're the only VPN provider I see consistently spending money on marketing and sponsoring YouTube videos. 'Fun to use'..what? I don't care if my VPN is 'fun', I want it to protect my privacy.

He mentions that 2 of the VPNs are 'uninspired'. Sorry, I didn't realize that tunneling traffic to protect privacy was an art project and not a technical one.

FWIW I've used PIA for 2 years now with no issues. A TON of torrenting has gone through them and they don't care in the least. In addition when their Russian servers were seized I received an email immediately letting me know their current situation and about their key changes due to the event. Plus they no longer do business in that location due to it. Pretty top notch company in my eyes even if their site does look 15 years old.

I agree. I have been using PIA for years and though it is not always blazing fast, it does the job and is very easy to use on both OSX and iOS. I found it really strange that PIA was the only one that hit all 9 of the highly desirable but was "very transactional". I felt the same way about the "fun to use" thing.

Agree, i wonder why this has so many upvotes...

Anyway, for a better VPN comparison with actual objective facts, check https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-comparison-chart/ and https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L72gHJ5bTq0Djljz0P-N...

Agreed on PIA being good with no major issues here either

I was wondering this as well. Very low quality; seems like more shill advertising. I've been using Windscribe for years and I've only experienced a disconnect once EVER. It's also dead simple to setup and use; basically it's a one click install, then one click to connect (maybe 2 or 3 if you want to switch to a different location), but this is part of his review for Windscribe, "Ultimately, couldn't get a proper connection working."

Sadly, this is the case for a lot of media/recommendations/etc now. Maybe it has always been this way, but it's much more noticable now.

The fan driven recommendations/sites are a thing of the past as everyone is trying to monetize and make money off their articles.

Even worse, with the move by corporate america/government agencies/political groups into the social media space, even comments/submissions have to been viewed with some degree of skepticism.

It seems like every other article/submission/comment/etc are selling something and the internet/social media/etc is no longer a community but a marketplace.
