    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.

      Oh honey it’s so much worse than that.

      And fuck those lemmy instances? Might consider blocking communities hosted on them.

        I blocked all the political, inflammatory communities. Who needs them?

        Enlighten me. What damage do you thinking they are doing by snooping in my streaming traffic. Aside from profiling me and predicting my every move lol.

        As far as Lemmy instances, they are likely in a tough spot. You can’t build an enjoyable platform if it’s crawling with bots.
