Hi everyone! I’m Jordan, and I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be creating video content here at Privacy Guides! This is my first video, and I’ve always felt that VPN videos often missed important details and didn’t fully explain the privacy benefits. I hope this video helps clarify the concepts and makes the information easy to understand for everyone.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas for future videos!
Hi Jordan, welcome to the team! Blown away by the production value honestly what a great first video.
Awesome work Jordan, this is very welcome. Looking forward to what is next.
Welcome Jordan, we are all very excited to work with you in the coming future, glad to have you aboard!
Welcome aboard! Great video - glad to have you on the team!
Congratulations Jordan! It’s exciting to see this excellent video released. I know it will be the first of many. I love the idea that Privacy Guides will be the gold standard for videos on privacy-related topics going forward.

Thank you to all the donors who support Privacy Guides. Their support allows for the funding of content like this.
Nice initiative! The only comment that I have is if we perhaps can consider make the videos also available in some other video platform as well (Peertube?). Basically for two reasons, trying to reduce YT dependency and the second is to have those that are are advanced in the privacy area to start using alternatives. Peertube and/or whatever is adopted lacks curated content with the power and quality that PG can provide. PG may drive a trend to start watching videos in some other platform.
Good question, the video is available here as well: https://neat.tube/w/6HDQH1wnTACKFHh2u1CRQ5
This was a very good and informative video. Kudos to your effort
It would be nice if the PeerTube link was given in the the first post where the embedded YT video is.
For whatever reason, I find that the Privacy Guides and Surveillance Report videos are a bit slow to show up in my subscription feed on the PeerTube instance I have an account with. If the PeerTube link was posted at the same time as the YouTube version and I decided it was a video I did not want to wait to show up in my subscription feed it would give me an easy way to watch it without involving YouTube.
The issue is that PeerTube synchronizes from YouTube automatically. So there is a delay for the PeerTube instance to download the video from YouTube, then transcode that video to all the different quality levels.
Excellent work! Easily digestable content, well put together, and visually very nicely done. Appreciate your efforts.
Excellent video Jordan! To the point and very high production quality.
I have now subscribed to the channel 
Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone 
super excited to join the team!
Good catch! I had the sources in the script, I added it to the description. I’m thinking of doing visual citations in the video too in the future to make it easier to cross reference 
We’re still ironing out the design scheme for Privacy Guides in the video format, I will be improving this in future videos.
It could have been good to mention definitely, If I could go back and add this I would!
Great video!
One bit of feedback is to clean up the voiceover track with a bit more punch and presence. I’m not sure what microphone and post processing you’re using, but to my ear the track would benefit from some additional compression and EQ.
This was one perfect videos on VPNs I have ever seen, no offence to Techlore and others who speak the truth on it. I loved the design, graphics, and other visual elements in the video. Very professional!
Good job! - I can’t wait for more.
Simple, short and on point.
Wish all content was like this
Greetings, Jordan! I’m really excited to see PrivacyGuides employing a dedicated content creator like yourself who clearly knows their stuff. I really appreciate how the video breaks down a complex topic and explains it in simple, layman’s terms.
One curiosity I have is what your view on featuring PrivacyGuides recommendations in the videos is. While VPNs have been a fairly stable category, the recommendations are prone to change, and I wonder how you view the impact of that on the longevity of the videos you produce.
Personally, I would be really interested in seeing a video on end-to-end encrypted messengers and metadata. I think a lot of people struggle to convince people to switch to e2ee messengers. Even more difficult is convincing them to switch from the likes of WhatsApp to Signal, etc. so I would really value an easily digestible, go-to video to show such people.
