Upvoted for the perspective. Totally unrealistic view the average consumer is going to use a VPN to reach a particular service though.

The average consumer does not care(TM) and chooses convenience. And convenience will be brought by FB for example.

Most teenagers already use VPNs to get past network filters used in school WiFis and child filters on their data plans. Plus pornhub operates their own VPN so we know using a VPN to access just one service is something people already do. I think this idea of a mindless consumer is an unhealthy attitude tech people have that leads to so much shitty software. People who don't browse HN can use computers too.

I agree some might use VPNs, but most seems like a claim which needs some evidence.
