I've seen Sabine Hossenfelder do a few NordVPN ads in her videos and I don't think she's an idiot.

To be clear though, this isn't a judgement about VPNs or me saying I trust her and so I'll buy that VPN. It's more that as long as the product isn't something too crazy, most content producers will probably happily take the ad money because they need to eat.

While on the topic of NordVPN... a few months ago I was looking to get a little bit of podcast marketing going for my project and spoke to the person responsible for ads on a comedian podcast I like. It's one that is pretty small and would've been affordable for a small operation like mine, but it turned out that NordVPN was already in negotiations to buy out the next year of ads and that was that.
