However, many of the selling points for VPNs are exaggerated or just outright

    The opening scene is a parody of his typical videos

    So he typically advertises for VPNs? I don’t understand.

    If you watch the opening scene and read the pinned comment on the video my reply might make more sense.

    I did both of those things. Neither his comment or yours make sense because the opening scene is obviously not about any person, it’s about a VPN.

      He “typically” discusses interesting places/people. In the first 5 or so seconds of the video he discusses a fictitious person and how they “weren’t protected from viruses, but you could be with a VPN”. So he transitions from his typical video style to a VPN ad to then highlight all of the things wrong with VPN ads.
