20% of the video is an ad for a VPN.

The remaining 80% could be summarized in 2-3 sentences. Do we really need a video?

Neat. I'd kill to have a podcast player with that feature.

A couple have existed, with mixed criticism:

Life changing moment

Glad to help :)

I watch Hoffman for the experience of watching the idea play out in full.

On can either throw back an espresso, or sip and consider its flavour. This guy does good complete videos of the latter style. Each to their own.

Coffee is just a ground bean extracted in hot water after all.

Because the audience is there. Apparently a lot of people like wikipedia articles paraphrased and read aloud to them.

Must be a market for it. I think Siri does it now.

What is the rage about VPNs lately? Is there an emerging security/surveillance threat that we were not aware of or even one that a VPN could stop unlike FB/Google data hoarding?

I guess most people use it for getting access to content restricted for different region in video streaming services.

When you consider person that regularly watches Youtube they might be interested.

Do you have an example of such a video?

Tons of Netflix content available in the US but not outside, for example.

And these three sentences would be?

I searched when I saw the video was 7 minutes long and found more results about why Italians don't drink a cappuccino after lunch (or noon). The explanation is they believe milk after meals impedes digestion. (I guess the video had a different but related explanation.)

They are lactose intolerant.

But then you'd miss his sensual hissing voice... that aggravating voice.
