Well, no, because it was designed just to piss all of us off in the past two decades.

Having a strong speech skill. I'll have the silver tongue needed to talk and utilize etiquette to get what I need and want. Maybe even pick up someone too.
It'll be the mail service for the alt-right, I'd imagine.
ProtonMail is enough for me.
Shove that stupid 'X' up your ass, Musk.
Awesome.
The day FireFox and UBlock Origin stop working with eachother completely. Might be the day I just uninstall all of my browsers and use my PC more personally than before.
Exactly, it's absolutely absurd.
Think we ought to just start harassing marketers and anyone involved with advertising.
Yes and No.
People don't want to deal with the heavy costs and load of hosting their own content. That's unfortunately the sacrifice. Google is big enough to house it all, whereas, we'd probably see content from a creator last for a finite amount of time before they end up having to close up shop or beg for donations.
Good joke, YouTube.
Ah yes, but what about the violation to our time where we've had to sit through 30 second ~ 2 minute ads of over-dramatized ways for shitty companies to get us to buy shit we don't want and subscribe to services we don't need? What about those violations and those violations happen more frequently than us blocking your ads? The hell with you.
I think this comment should be pinned honestly.
VPNs are not required. Instead of egressing on your ISPs network, you're egressing on someone else's network. It's kinda like paying for a second ISP so you can egress your ISP to go encrypted to your other ISP. What does it accomplish other than putting you in another law jurisdiction?
I...what?
How am I paying for another person's ISP when I'm mooching off of their network to pirate from?
Okay, so the two examples you've provided about those VPN services, have nothing to do at all about piracy. One is about cyberstalking and the other was about a child abuse investigation. Those are arguably more serious than piracy in comparison.
At that point do you think you'll get some form of compensation from the VPN provider?
The fuck are you on?
I am not one of those children that clutches their pearls for family members to give what they busted their ass for away for free. My father just paid off the mortgage of his home. It is his.
And he paid it for over 25 years as people like us lived in and left it. It is just unearned entitlement for any of us to come to him, demanding or expecting something he earned through hard work.
And it is something generations after his wont understand. You try being 66 years old and enduring the grind for so long to finally have something like a home to yourself. And not have a thought of reluctance of just giving it away.
It is ironic considering how much of a clutch todays generations have with their phones. Does anyone think they are the kind to give a home away when it is paid off? You tell me.
