Huh, I think I see pcbway/jlcpcb and various 3D printer/laser cutter companies 90% of the time I’m watching a channel with sponsors.
When I get those it’s pretty well fitting into the video though. The YouTuber will already be putting together a 3d printing or pcb project and the sponsorship seems to improve their overall product (more than doing it in house)
That says something about you… and me.
I’m not sure how people don’t see these things as anti-ads. I wouldn’t touch any of these companies with a 20 meter cattle prod.
I’m happy that creators get paid, sure, but if a company has to go out of their way to get someone to make ads for them, it doesn’t inspire trust at all.
sadly, plenty of people fall for those and that’s all the advertisers need.
HelloFresh is lit tho
World of Tanks is missing here
You missed ridge wallet
Then support Nebula / Patreon and avoid sponsors via adblock.
Express VPN has ties to Mossad.
That’s crazy lol. Is there a VPN you trust? I’m broke but I might want one in the future
When I was looking, I boiled it down to Mulvad or Proton. I went with Proton because they were offering a sale at the time. FirefoxVPN is just a rebranded Mulvad. I’ve since heard that iVPN is fairly private, or as private as you can get in this day and age, but I know little about it.
Express is owned by Kape Technologies, who also own PIA, CyberGhost, and Intego (an antivirus software). Kape started by distributing malware for the Israeli government.
Thanks for the writeup! I’ll keep all of that in mind.
If your broke I think checkout nymvpn It’s an up and coming one but it is really cheap and seams have nothing going against it right now.
If you don’t need port forwarding and you don’t mind paying a bit extra, mullvad vpn still has the best reputation so far.
As does Private Internet Access.
Sooo: which of them should i activly avoid and which are okay?
All of them except Elgato maybe
