    Your comment in no way negates my observation. If the clickbait title of the article was “You probably don’t need a VPN to avoid market tracking” or something similar, you’d have a point.

      I was simply adding information your comment had left out, it wasn’t negating information at all. So congrats on getting the point, not everyone is trying to argue 🎉

        You may want to reconsider your phrasing then if you don’t want it to appear to be argumentative.

          Neutral party here, I read it naturally as a supplement to your comment, not an opposition. I don’t detect an argumentative tone personally.

            You’re welcome to your opinion but these phrases

            I feel like the opening sentences explained the reasoning behind the article sufficiently,

            They’re not the only ones pointing this out, either.

            are oppositional in tone.

                I didn’t ask you. I didn’t ask the other neutral guy either. Not my issue that you have a problem with me suggesting the original respondent check his phrasing to make his intention clear, or pointing out the specific phrases that make it unclear.
