    Sun is speaking from a privacy perspective, and he’s basically saying don’t blindly trust your VPN provider, almost all cybersecurity researchers agree on this, Sparks is not a security researcher, he’s a VPN reviewer ( and I watched his content for 2 years now ), he reviews VPN mostly from a user/customer perspective not from a privacy and Security perspective, meaning he cares about giving you the best VPN in terms or pricing, speed, how many servers are available, umm … Features such as split tunneling, adblocking… Being cross Platform, heck even the payment method must be easy… This is Not what a privacy minded individual should look for when reviewing a VPN… According to Tom Sparks nowadays the best VPN deal is from TorGuard… Yes they seem Privacy minded ( but their product is proprietary so how can you trust it )

    I stopped watching Sparks reviews because A - he ran out of Content months ago, B - he started giving bad takes such as the ones in this video

    Mullvad advocating for online privacy being their marketing strategy!! ( seriously! seriously!! )

    Why would NordVPN a company that’s worth billions of dollars be a honeypot? ( yeah Facebook is trillion dollar company and they used a VPN app as a honeypot, Big companies can be honeypots, surprise, surprise )

      I agree that Tom Spark does not have the best takes, mainly him showing some hatred towards Mullvad, but he still has valid criticisms of this video
