Disclaimer: I know TurboVPN and the others mentioned are not good services to use, I’m strictly doing research. I’m not looking for VPN recommendations.

Genuinely wondering how these numbers are possible? 300M downloads and 8.35M reviews…? How?! Not even Amazon Shopping app or Disney+ have this many reviews. And surely NordVPN and Express VPN are considerable larger in both users and resources? I’ve never seen a sponsorship, not even once, from Turbo VPN. Are these numbers regional based? Is Turbo VPN more known in other regions? Is it easy to spoof these numbers?

Appreciate any comments on the matter, and have a nice day 🌻

    Maybe leave out the E-girl thing next time, no need to single them out. Maybe it was an attempt at humor, but hating on E-girls is really popular among incels and your comment sounds a lot like the stuff they say.

      I wasn’t hating on e-girls, I was goofing on the simps that idolize them, to the point of downloading a VPN app because their gamer girl parasocial gf was paid to tell them to.

      Maybe don’t go around assuming everyone is an Incel unless they announce otherwise.

      Should I also announce all of my political positions to you, just so you can be sure you don’t need to downvote me?
