VPN providers don't provide privacy.
1. Sure, it now means your ISP like Comcast can't track you online, but now the VPN provider is tracking you.
2. Such tracking isn't the problem, it's cookies that are the problem, which isn't stopped by VPNs.

More examples of 'men being like that' to a woman online if you're still not convinced this happens to them constantly and needs to stop:

This whole 🧵is superb. And it’s emphatically not about guns — it’s about the power and craft of storytelling, elucidating how and why some books, shows, con games, and conspiracy theories suck us in, or don’t, and why things we love fade when too much explained.

Steph was a very old friend of mine. She passed away today, and this is a fundraiser for her funeral costs. If you can spare anything to help, that would mean a lot to me. Thank you 🖤

When I talk about digital privacy, there is always some smug genius who shrugs and tells me, 'Who cares? We all know we don't have any privacy anyway.' Nothing could be more wrong. Convincing you that the fight is already over to the way people in power get you to stop resisting.

I hate it when I think something is really bad and then it’s worse, actually.

Other red flags freelancers should look for:

—Request for original samples/list of ideas
—Vague description of work, an invitation for scope creep
—No mention of pay
—Words like 'rock star,' 'ninja'; phrases like 'we're a family' or 'hard work is required.'

Remember when everyone put NFTs and blockchains in everything for no apparent reason and said that was gonna change everything? Phew, that was silly, good thing we’ve learned our lesson and moved on to Gen AI! That’s gonna change everything

We had an HVAC tuneup and the technician did not pet my dog, which was incredibly rude. She must be petted by all visitors.
