This is inaccurate, read the pinned comment on the video where he points out that the opening scene is entirely made up and isn't about a real person.

I don't understand. Of course it's not about a real person, it's about a VPN...

The opening scene is a parody of his typical videos (which are typically about places/people) transitioning into a VPN ad segment. The fact that it isn't about a real person means that it is not in fact from one of his real videos. If you watch the opening scene and read the pinned comment on the video my reply might make more sense.

So he typically advertises for VPNs? I don't understand.

I did both of those things. Neither his comment or yours make sense because the opening scene is obviously not about any person, it's about a VPN.

So he typically advertises for VPNs? I don't understand.

He "typically" discusses interesting places/people. In the first 5 or so seconds of the video he discusses a fictitious person and how they "weren't protected from viruses, but you could be with a VPN". So he transitions from his typical video style to a VPN ad to then highlight all of the things wrong with VPN ads.

The things that wrong with VPN ads is in the VPN ads, not the transition.
