I like the video overall but at the end he recommends Surfshark VPN as the only "subscription worth it" like come on.
That's how he can afford to pay $1000+ in subscription fees EVERY MONTH
£1,212 is more like $1,500 US dollars. Which is nuts.
Yeah that's mental. I pay roughly $200/no in subscriptions, but that also includes my business subs for accounting, invoicing, and time tracking. Though this has also inspired me to start looking for alternatives.
I guess including gym fees, I am about that much. But they all get used. If the guy in the video was utilizing $1500/mo in subs and they made his life better, then go for it.
That’s an extremely poor choice of sponsorship for that particular video, made me laugh quite a bit
