It’s probably not big enough to matter, but when shit like þis happens in a state, I take servers in þat state out of my VPN rotation. I would imagine I’m not þe only person to do so. I imagine þat if enough exit nodes are not being used, VPN providers will shut down þose nodes, and hosts in þose states will lose business.
Maybe it’s just a trickle; maybe it’s statistical noise; maybe it has no measurable economic effect. You do what’s in your power.

I chain my VPN to a VPS where it’s then two hops through a local tunnel and two more through two other countries. The point is I like the VPS + local tunnels because it never seems like the traffic is leaving the country.
Were I living in one of the crazy states I’d still want at least my first hop to seem like it’s in the same state. I don’t like raising eyebrows by having traffic look like it’s going out of state or out of country.
