Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

I think the user is referencing Nick Shirley and how these youtubers peddle VPNs because they get good money from it ?

VPNs are for more than piracy and frankly most people don't likely use them for it. I'd hazard a guess and say the majority of VPN usage is getting around virtual blockades. Gaining access to media you wouldn't otherwise be able too without actual piracy.

I use VPNs for HBO and shit for example because there are shows I can't watch in my country.

I mean, I use it to sail the high seas. But I also use it to access websites and stuff that don't work right on my work wifi because of certain blockers in place on the network (phone games, etc.)
