I think the thing that puts me off ExpressVPN is their advertising budget. They are pretty cheap, yet they have enough budget to push ads everywhere. It really makes me wonder how much money they're actually saving to provide the service!

Have you read about how ice cream is linked to shark attacks? 😆

I can’t speak for “everywhere,” but in my case I don’t expect to see a big buck from writing about ExpressVPN. They’ve built a great product, and I want to see great products succeed. Maybe lots of people feel the same way!

I can guess the content of that link! It'll be about correlation and causation, right? That's not what I'm getting at, at least not precisely.

It's more like if someone made a film, and spent more on the budget for the trailers than the film itself. I guess I wouldn't trust the film as much as I could.
