Hello world! It’s me again with a question!
So, I remember back in the days of WinXP and Vista when we had the CCleaner or CCCleaner. I recently watched a YouTube video about some guy stating that it is so good and the best thing you can use today.
If I recall correctly, didn’t they get compromised like 7 times already and switched owners a couple of times?
Same guy talked about NordVPN being so cool and stuff but a friend of mine found some software of them on his server, I don’t remember what kind, probably some tracker or adware, and since the incident happened around the time everyone started to get sponsored by them, I don’t really trust VPNs.
There are legit VPN companies. Mullvad would be my choice if I didn’t already use Proton for their suite of software.
Nord is shit-tier. CCleaner is shit-tier. Raid shadow legends is shit tier.
Note which youtuber it is, and completely disregard anything they say.
The way I see it is if a company has to spend a shit ton of money advertising, they’re probably not all that good to begin with.
If a product is legitimately good people will be beating down their door.
I have never actually seen a Proton ad. I only looked into them after hearing about them often on privacy oriented subs.
Literally Edward Snowden mentioning it is the first time I heard of it, and after that, it was in the news a few times when big leaks happened, and the people who used Proton Mail never seemed to be the ones who got caught. That’s the only I’ve ever heard them being “advertised” - and that’s a pretty fucking good ad campaign: be one that people can rely on when their lives are at stake.
Same. I’ve been using proton for 6 or 7 years now.
I’ve seen a couple on the Linux Experiment’s page
I hate to admit, but I played Raid shadow legends on day 1. it was shit-tier after 3 hours and thirsted for money.
Needless to say, a YouTuber I saw during a YouTube-Trip said that they declined the raid shadow legends deal, despite it being 5 figures. Didn’t say the specific amount though.
