VPNs are snake oil, don’t trust a word they say
VPNs have their uses. The vast majority of people don't need VPNs, but some people do find a use for them.
vpns have their use case, they're definitely not snake oil
Advocacy aside, the solution is to not. I know a lot of people can't pick another provider but at the same time they probably didn't need what they were torrenting...
Now do I think what I do with my internet is my problem and my ISP can go f themselves. Yes, but I'm also in the privileged position to have many options and quite a few have the "its your internet connection, we will inform you about throttling if we have a technical reason, also if the police asks we are compelled by law to do x"
A VPN does not solve your problem and isn't advocacy, it's at best bootlegging.
I really wished such dogmatism was not so rampant in the technical world.
