Tl;dw: Most (not all) vpn companies come from ad brokers that spy on you. If you see a vpn being sponsorized by streamers with discount codes: they are selling your data.
Well that was a predictable outcome of commercial vpns. The “protect your data from isps” line never really answered the “what about the VPN provider” question.
Yeah, but i t was related to their CEO’s political views, not the VPN’s quality.
Afaik (and also according to the video itself), proton remains, together with iVPN and mullvad, one of the vpn’s that you can still trust. At least for now.

Mullvad and proton are safe to use.

The idea SHOULD be that the VPN provider knows less about you.

What about Facebook’s VPN?

That’s exactly what an ad broker would say.
Wasn’t there some recent BS w/ Proton, though? (It’s been a rough week, but I’m pretty sure that wasn’t a fever dream? …Pretty sure.)
