    Don’t forget, Hulu is owned by Disney too. Honestly, I’m done with video streaming at least for a while. I never have time anymore to watch anything so it’s just a money suck and physical media is better anyway.

      CBC Gem has a ton of awesome stuff, and is worth it for Schitt’s Creek alone. Free with ads too (may not be the case outside Canada though)

        Maybe something’s going over my head but my understanding is a VPN can get you around region locks but you still have to pay for the streaming service to access it.

        Unless you’re talking about using a VPN to pirate, which I’ve definitely done without a VPN, albeit a long time ago.

          Much safer over a VPN. Not foolproof though; be sure to read up on whatever you’re doing for whatever reason you’re doing it.

      There’s one service still putting out quality content but low overall volume, but mentioning their name on Lemmy is a risky bet. Anyway, piracy is free and can be set up for convenience too.
