The whole point of publishers slowly setting up their own streaming services (like Disney -> Disney+) and streaming services slowly vertically integrating with studios (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video + Amazon Studios) is to bypass this stupid shit. If Netflix financed the show, and Netflix streams the show, and Netflix has global distribution, then why, pray tell, does Netflix give a shit any more about whether a user is using a VPN or not?
