This is self destructive, as it makes their content look paltry when you view it through a VPN. I just unsubscribed from Netflix yesterday because I was like "none of the movies on my watchlist are on Netflix". Now I wonder if that was actually because I was looking through a VPN.

The most insidious part is that they don't tell you that you have reduced content, they just silently remove content if you use a VPN.

As an example: I can watch "The Game" (1997) from California, USA if I don't use a VPN. If I connect with Express VPN (through San Francisco) the title is not available. That is dumb.
