100% this. The absence of free WiFi will do shit, people still have mobile internet. Providing WiFi is just part of a good service. And what about customers who come alone for working on their laptop? It’s just silly, nothing else.
i don’t use this kind of wi-fi anyways because anyone can grab whatever you send through it
I’m glad you brought that up. Now a word from our sponsor, NordVPN…
Unironically actually one of the only good use cases for VPNs aside from piracy.
Zero purpose in running a VPN at home just to log into your boomer ass Facebook anyway.
You misspelled privacy
Thanks, I did :)
Not true for websites with SSL encryption, which is basically 95% of the internet.
Agreed. Still i’d rather use mobile data.
Guarantee you these people found this idea on Pinterest or Facebook and decided to copy it. They probably also shared it on their own pages afterward to demonstrate to others how they don’t use that pesky internet.
I’ll just use my data.
Then it’s nice to have this sign on an airplane.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
“We’re too cheap to have WiFi “
With how ubiquitous mobile data is now, I feel like this sign was basically only relevant for a few years in the early 2010s
You can do both
Jokes on you, I have unlimited data and a hotspot.
Ok Boomer
Gen Z are the group leading the dummy phone movement so I think your low effort and comment might be wrong.
Real talk: what does “leading” actually mean? Because if it’s like 4% of the generation, it’s not much of a paradigm shift.
The internet is a passing fad.
Saw something similar in a pizza shop. Personally I’d never connect to a public wifi, but I did think it was a cute sentiment.
Why not? As long as you run a reputable VPN it’s perfectly safe (and most places let you use a VPN - the ones that don’t, I just roll LTE lol)
Agreed. VPN is the way to go.
I was told not to talk to strangers.
“No”
