Overall the marketing is dishonest/over promises and there's some previous lack of transparency with data breaches along with being closed source. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NordVPN#Criticism

There's just better options: https://thatoneprivacysite.xyz/

How have you not yet realised to be very doubtful and suspicious of anything that's heavily advertised on YouTube etc? Which Nord is like top 5 of along with Raid Shadow Legends, Raycon earbuds, BetterHelp and Manscaped. All, including Nord, having been widely known for years to be scams and/or just shitty products and companies. Do you really think they'd do those sponsorship deals if they were actually good and naturally got customers via word of mouth? All of this is so damn obvious.

Nord is owned by a shady company

aside from the fact it just doesn't work on windows 10 anymore for me?

idk it also seems to not work for torrenting, one of my ISPs blocks torrent traffic when using it now

it has google firebase trackers https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/652224/

use mullvad instead

It's not too bad. The client is the usual bulky Electron trash though.

Nothing really, I've been using them for years and have had no issues.

If you're just pirating movies it's fine, as long as you're not selling state secrets or anything like that you're fine with nord.
