I started looking at a few of the podcaster-recommended VPNs and in general, they were quite a bit more expensive than what I have been paying for. You really have no way of knowing whether these lists are of good VPNs or only ones that were willing to pay the site owner to be on the list.

Unfortunately, many, if not all of these “Top Ten” lists are either paid for by the VPN vendors or are all affiliate links. The second option is possibly even worse. But do you really know anything about those VPN providers? Do you know that the podcaster evaluated them thoroughly from a security perspective? Or are they just the ones that offered advertising money? The first option isn’t a terrible way to go, because if you hear about a VPN from a tech podcaster, it’s reasonable to assume they’ve used it themselves and done some sort of evaluation.
