Why it worked

The video taps into a common user concern about online privacy and security, leveraging a listicle format to deliver potentially valuable, albeit negative, information about popular services. The creator's direct and cautionary tone, combined with visual cues of the VPN logos, creates a sense of urgency and trustworthiness.

Summary

These VPNs, including ExpressVPN, PIA, CyberGhost, Zenmate, NordVPN, and Surfshark, are criticized for potentially selling user data and being part of companies with questionable pasts or aggressive marketing tactics.
