Nord VPN tv commercials are incredibly misleading

A VPN isn't going to protect you from malware or trackers. I'm not sure how they can get away with this marketing.

They used to say NordVPN would boost your game's latency in their ads so I'm not surprised

Technically the truth

Technically? This irony or am I missing something?

Using a VPN generally increases your latency. Latency is...bad. They are advertising a negative consequence as a positive feature, banking on the target market not having enough understanding of the terms in play.

Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You might understand it better but the frog is dead.
