I started out watching some YouTube channels that claim to be dedicated to keeping me private and secure with recent news but found that some of them have a history of advertising NordVPN. Those channels sometimes sounded like they were defending Apple then telling people if they don’t like the content then to just scram. Also, they would talk about custom roms for Android, then eventually when the channel got more viewers, the host makes a video advertising Google and why he now uses stock Google Android and saying that it’s advanced. These channels, I sometimes find, either have bots or loyal followers on YouTube and Reddit that are ready to gaslight someone for questioning them. They don’t hang out on other platforms like Odysee which is strange.

What is a good podcast about privacy and security?

    He gets some hate but Rob Braxman on YouTube/Odyssey was one of my gateway drugs into the privacy community. He is kind of obnoxious at times but lays out a lot of technical and basic advice pretty well I think. Learned about degoogled phones and Bluetooth risks from him as a couple of examples. I also second Luis Rossman on YouTube/Grayjay, he’s more on the philosophical and legal side of things.
