Wow! It's almost as if greed and hubris caused all the media companies to split everything up so they wouldn't have to share with netflix and now no one can keep track of which services are hosting what shows in which countries.

So learning how to pirate things and paying for a VPN that won't snitch is easier than paying for a dozen different streaming services in addition to your internet connection.

MULLVAD! ProtonVPN! QBITTORRENT! POPCORN-TIME! KASPERSKY!

Sorry...I have Tourette's syndrome. FUCKING QUANTUM RESISTANT ENCRYPTION WITH MULLVAD! PORT FORWARDING OFF WITH PROTON! Sorry...I meant to say that piracy is immoral and wrong! How are billionaires supposed to afford their diamond studded, solid gold toilets or their giant mansions on huge plots of land if we pirate things?!
