Marketing is supposed to increase demand for a product or service but it doesn’t always work that way. What do you use less or even stopped using because of the company’s marketing?

Any mainstream VPN service that is heavily promoted on YouTube.

If their marketing budget is that bloated, then they may be charging too much.

    Anything that's heavily promoted on Youtube. No product in human history from any company that's had to stoop to Youtube sponsorships has ever been worth a damn.

    Eh, I'm liking Nord VPN so far. My main use case is watching BBC iPlayer and some geo-restricted Youtube content.
