It seems so stupid that I'm like a suspect for wanting an exchange of information without dropping my pants and bending over. No, I don't want cookies. Yes I want to read the article but no, I don't want to "sign up."

It makes me feel like being a f*cking hermit. But I prefer to pirate. Even though I'm not that good at it. Screw them. I got two private trackers, a VPN, and I hope that's enough.

You know what would be pretty baller? A VPN credit union kind of thing where people ask over the place have their IP substituted with anyone else's in the network! Just join in with a certain minimum of bandwidth?

I'm not sure I would want my ip address being tied to the activity of a large amount of strangers who want to hide their IP address. Seems like a good way to get a visit from the friendly neighborhood black van.

I'm pretty sure you'd have a perfectly good explanation.

I think it'd be more valuable if ISPs linked together and let you cycle through different routes for different exit nodes.

Herd immunity?

I kinda wonder if this is what TOR does.

Yeah I'm not super technical but that was my first thought
