Comment on I'm sorry for who fell for the relentless marketing
kingblaaak@lemmy.world 1 month ago100% - this goes with VPNs, why would I buy that is posted everywhere, such a giant target for an attack.
I’ll do my own research and come to a conclusion on how i spend my money.
This is why I’ll never use NordVPN. Their ads are everywhere, which makes me not trust their product.
Besides, the most popular products are the most targeted by malware, hacking, adware/spyware, etc. Lesser known security tools are generally better, as long as the product itself is quality.
Quality products have quality, as long as they have quality. Yeah.
I didn’t even know they advertised so much because of my adblocker at the time.
I block ads too, but a bunch of YouTube channels I follow slip in their own custom-made ads in their vids, and like 70% of them were NordVPN. I couldn’t escape it for a while.
One method of escape: Sponsorblock
