Netflix is causing us to watch less TV (digitaltrends.com)

And now that Netflix is blocking VPNs and requesting users to weaken their security, we may be watching Netflix less too.


It is unclear if they are blocking paid/public VPNs only, which to be fair are no more secure than without, can you really trust some anonymous guy/gal who purchases a few random dedicated servers and VPSs at different global budget providers with providing a secure exit node? I can't see Netflix would have a legal problem with one running their own VPN on a cloud server within the same country, but I'm yet to find example of particular bannings.
