Why was the thread about the free VPN Riseup removed, while there's a 2 day old thread about Windscribe, a paid VPN still active? (riseup.net)

Copy of original thread post:

Title: Has anyone tried Riseup VPN?

I’ve been experimenting with some free VPNs, and it looks like Riseup is legit. I’m able to torrent on it without issue and the speeds are acceptable for my connection.

How come we don’t recommend this more? Everyone is always saying “no free vpns,” but how many of you have actually tried them? I feel like I’ve been wasting money on my VPN ever since I found Riseup.

Are we just being hustled by the viral marketers and their useful idiots?

Why did this post get removed for spam, but the post about a paid VPN stays up?

Are the mods just removing posts that get reported, regardless of if rules are being broken? If so, they should consider how most people paying for a product will get very defensive whenever someone mentions they could be getting that product for free.
