much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Thank you I probably could of done that or wrote a little synopsis.
Synopsis - videos kind of a short video essay, where the op interviews someone they met at a privacy hackathon. The person in the interview seemed interesting to op, and they barely mention nym which was the project he made. They mention it at the end but only briefly, again it seems like a short video essay more than a tech video. More emotional but I appreciated the messaging at the end especially when I find myself focusing more on the negative.

I'm all for them trying. IDK if they will succeed. But we need ppl working on implementations of privacy tech. There's a diff between having the theory, and having implementations to pick from.
I suspect the prob in the end, will be like what Tor faces. Every exit node gets blocked by bigger and bigger %'s of teh web, until the tech works but it is nearly useless.
IDK how to solve that. I even understand why so many sites block Tor today. Deluges of abuse come from it, so they subscribe to blocklists. That means, ppl who desire to behave well, but want privacy from Big Surveilence, are collateral damage in that war.
I read the wiki, didn't yet watch the video. But I found this! --> https://nym.com/
Looks like they have something you can try already. I am interested about it. Esp if we can pay in cash, like Mulvad allows. I would buy sth like this.
But I want it to support a standard WG client! The one already on my system! Maybe it does? It was hard to tell, from the site. I do NOT like the idea of installing packages from a rando company, to do what my system can do with normal system software. That's something Mullvad did right, and Proton also. You can use standard system s/w for the tunnel.
I tried it for a week and had so many connectivity issues, I had to drop it. Wish all the best for it though - we need more good options.
Thanks for relating your experience! I may wait a few months and then try it out. Hopefully it'll get more solid over time.

Mixnets are old, they have existed since the 1990s.
They are not a magic solution, they only work given very exacting social conditions.
