I'd like to thank all the team at ██████ VPN for ████████████. (The opening speech isn't about a real person, by the way; it was just the worst possible segue I could think of.)

Future job applications: ⬜ I.T. ⬜ engineer ☑️ gay pirate assassin
-
VPN also prevents bear attacks. I’ve been using VPN for the last 5 years and haven’t been attacked by any bears.

Calling AES “military grade encryption” is like calling oxygen “military grade air.” It’s not totally wrong, it’s just that everyone is breathing that same air

Lots of people saying that this video aged poorly because Tom now is sponsored by a VPN company, but did it really age poorly? In this old video, Tom is clearing up some of the "false" claims that VPN companies make and talks about how he dislikes ads that lie or mislead - he himself did not use any of these claims in his new video where he is sponsored by a VPN company. In the new video, he literally says that he is using a VPN because he is traveling a lot and away from home, which automatically makes websites show up in dutch, and prices in Euros. He also said that he could not access a UK government site without the VPN. I don't think this aged poorly. I think he is sticking to his principles and did an honest VPN advert.

Guys, I think it's Raid: Shadow Legends.

Gay Pirate Assassins: "He's on to us"
-
“Hiding your sexuality from college administrators” is such an oddly specific example.
-
I like how when Tom got sponsored by a VPN he only stated the benefits he said in this video and not the bs
-
As a gay pirate who is not an assassin, I feel largely represented by this advert.
-
I'm a gay pirate assassin and a VPN has helped immensely, thanks Tom.
-
The military grade encryption part reminds me of one of his linguistics videos Saying your VPN uses military grade encryption is like saying your tomatoes are 100% vegan
-
I think one inclusion that's worth mentioning is that a VPN might hide your identity and stop tracking etc but the second you login to a website like Google, facebook, then all of that goes out the window. Too many people think a VPN gives them privacy and then stroll around the Internet logged in to their google account, linked to their facebook account, linked to their steam account....
-
Anyone who has ever been in or known someone in the military knows "Military grade" means "Built by the lowest bidder" anyway
-
I honestly can’t believe Tom would throw gay pirate assassins under the bus like that.
-
For some reason I feel like buying a ton of flowers.
-
Guys he didn’t change his mind. He didn’t use any of the lying talking points in his video
-
Dang, shame that VPN backed out of the sponsor deal; the gay pirate assassin market would've probably been really profitable
-
Coming from someone working in the military; military grade is "lowest bidder that gets the job done"
-
I'm here after nordvpn sponsored robot tom scott twin.
