Why do steaming services think they have a captive audience and I'm not going to ditch all of them with the crazy influx of annoying ads? - eviltoast

I’ve been unmotivated in the past but i think it’s time to sort out an alternative.

    It depends on your threat profile. I don’t go so far as to use it at home unless I’m downloading torrents or watching porn, since my legislators don’t have a fucking clue how the Internet works and thinks they can PrOtEcT tHe ChIlDrEn by blocking porn.

    I’ve started to use VPN when I’m on guest wifis, even encrypted ones. I don’t want their owners to know what sites I visit.

        I live in the US. If you live in a state or country that’s totalitarian, then yes a VPN is probably a good idea, tor if you can handle the latency.

        It’s only a matter of time until both of those technologies are made illegal.
