Reject Convenience Forum

Mental Outlaw's videos were a major catalyst for me to start taking control of my digital life in a healthy way. I would highly recommend anyone who really wants to get into the weeds of digital privacy, because it will help free you of any ideas of 100% privacy and security. When you dive into what it takes to stay truly anonymous and private with certain technologies (see How to Get a Private Phone, Number, and Cellular Data), it helps you understand that you must find and set your threshold of tolerance. After watching these videos, and really taking the time to understand the arguments presented in the videos, you will have more than enough skills for the average user to meet your threshold of tolerance. Also, I think he's funny .

Here are a few of my top hits from this channel in terms of general educational value when it comes to data security and privacy.

I love Mental Outlaw, his advice is really good. He is the one who first got me into the Privacy Rabbit hole. But sometimes I do think he is a bit too Paranoid.

His first video alone got me to subscribe. Thanks for the recommendation! I'll be going though all the other videos listed soon enough.
