the internet sucks

I use a VPN because ISPs can now monitor what we do and sell the resulting data. Plus I've had ISPs kill media streams because they can.

But because I use a VPN, email providers, work systems, banks all act like I'm a cybercriminal. I'm lucky if I only have to deal with a CAPTCHA. Worse yet, I often get emails throttled, or my connection is simply blocked.

thanks, internet

@rwg Yep;. A great example of the "privacy tax".
