They advertise aggressively through YouTubers/streamers. A lot of mushy brained people probably download it once just to see what their favourite e-girl is on about. Then once they realize it's not providing them any tangible value they don't use it, but probably leave it installed since nobody ever uninstalls apps from their phone.
Ok so they do advertise, good to know thanks
Well IDK because I use ad block and sponsor block for everything, but all the big VPNs do
I've seen plenty of ads for nord, this is the first I'm hearing of turbo
Why you targeting "E-girls" specifically?
That was just a bit of humour. I just mean in general whatever streamer or YouTuber someone might be watching, they are probably getting paid the VPN bucks.
Maybe leave out the E-girl thing next time, no need to single them out. Maybe it was an attempt at humor, but hating on E-girls is really popular among incels and your comment sounds a lot like the stuff they say.
I wasn't hating on e-girls, I was goofing on the simps that idolize them, to the point of downloading a VPN app because their gamer girl parasocial gf was paid to tell them to.
Maybe don't go around assuming everyone is an Incel unless they announce otherwise.
Should I also announce all of my political positions to you, just so you can be sure you don't need to downvote me?
Yeah my mistake, you aren't just posting like an incel. you are a incel.
And you don't get to police people's opinions
I can and will. if you're hating on women and that guy is, I'm gonna call it out.
Axios!
Dost thou fall on thine sword for a fair maiden?
It's not specific to e-girls. Can be twitch streamers, bloggers, etc
Because of the implication
