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.)

@joen0411

VPN also prevents bear attacks.  I’ve been using VPN for the last 5 years and haven’t been attacked by any bears.

@dennisbrannvalls1fan964

I honestly can’t believe Tom would throw gay pirate assassins under the bus like that.

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

@bazil4146

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

@SollowP

Coming from someone working in the military; military grade is "lowest bidder that gets the job done"

@Dudotskiiiiii

If a company actually agreed to that advertisement I would actually be interested in getting their service.

@Her_Imperious_Condescension

I'm a gay pirate assassin and a VPN has helped immensely, thanks Tom.

@user-be1it9zi8v

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....

@aBroadMeadow

Turning down a deal like that tells a lot about your character. I’ll remember that.

FINALLY
SOMEONE POINTED THIS BS OUT

ITS BEEN DRIVING ME INSANE

@itzkingcringe

I like how when Tom got sponsored by a VPN he only stated the benefits he said in this video and not the bs

@o-hogameplay185

"Military grade" is like when you make a sci-fi movie, and can not explain how things works, so you just throw words like "quantum", or "nano tech"

@SkippyTheLost

It’s kinda funny that if the VPN company approved Tom’s version, then I’d probably trust that company more than any other VPN service

@IceQubed

Tom Scott isn't just a national treasure, he's an international treasure.

@DanielDatic

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.

@Sarcastix7

Gay Pirate Assassins: "He's on to us"

@AndreRhineDavis

I'm really proud of Tom for not sacrificing his honesty and integrity for "a lot of money"

@rhettorical

FINALLY someone explains why most of the VPN claims are BS.
