Man I just lost a chunk on a campaign cuz I went with what looked like a good deal and it turned out to be trash. Now I see all these VPN providers throwing crazy Black Friday discounts and I gotta ask, is it really worth waiting or are they just hyping up these sales? Like, NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark are their deals legit or just marketing tricks? Speed tests lately show some of these promos have terrible ping and throttling, which kinda defeats the purpose if you're streaming or torrenting. Protocol options seem to be all over the place too, some say WireGuard is king but then again some providers are still pushing IKEv2 or OpenVPN. Privacy-wise, I don't wanna gamble with some cheap no-name VPN either, but the deals look tempting. Streaming is a mess these days, some work for Netflix, some don't, and torrenting? Forget about it if they don't have a solid no-log policy. So, should I hold out and wait for the big Black Friday deals or just grab whatever seems decent now? Seriously, I need a quick answer, I'm tired of wasting money.
