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!
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.
Everyone reading this: please subscribe to the Privacy Guides channel!
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.
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.
The video should have references/sources for the claims made, along with any resources used too (like the windscribe chart) in the description. Some of the text is hard to read because of white on muddy yellow text, maybe the color scheme can be more friendly to the eyes. The video also missed on covering the primary use case of VPN: Geo unblocking content and anti censorship.
Excellent production and visuals overall! Excited to see PG add a new platform, hope to see more quality content soon
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!
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!
