> You have to turn on a foreign VPN (while in America) to even get decent American content Part of that is because American content already has American distribution. If I'm Disney, Paramount, MGM, NBCUniversal, etc., I won't give Netflix my content for cheap in America. Either Netflix needs to pay me a lot for that content (more than your collective subscription dollars would pay for) or I'm going to want you to sign up for my my service (like Disney+). Many of these companies don't have good overseas distribution yet so they will license their content to Netflix for a cheaper price in overseas markets. Part of the reason Netflix's quality has fallen off is that everyone started watching Netflix and stopped paying for content in other ways. When Netflix streaming was in its early days, a lot of content producers saw Netflix streaming as an easy way to increase their revenues. Of course, they quickly figured out that while they were getting new money from Netflix, it was eating into money they used to get from DVD sales, TV, etc. The golden years of Netflix streaming was an artifact of content producers licensing their content to Netflix for cheap before they realized Netflix was going to cannibalize their other revenue streams. It was something that wouldn't last.
