  Didn’t netflix encourage vpn’s for like a decade?

  I havent paid for streaming in forever, because i dont want to give art-mangling archive-destroyers my money, but that’s amazing.

    No idea tbh. All I know is most streaming services block them now since they often have different content in different regions.

        Honestly I’m mostly leeching off my friends lol. And my cell provider bundles Netflix.

        It’s not super tedious. Every time something doesn’t work, I just add it to my VPN exclusion list. I don’t really care if my ISP snoops on Netflix tbh.

        The VPN blocking doesn’t really bother me. It’s the enshitification of streaming services that bothers me. E.g. why does every paid service now trying to show me ads.

        Btw, a lot of Lemmy instances also don’t play nice with a VPN. Probably to block bots. PieFed is likely the same.
