It doesn’t make any sense. They don’t realize how many potential subscribers they lost outside of Asia/Australia because of their ridiculous « local content » approach.

It makes even less sense after the international success of Squid Game.

It’s like they think that only their American content is worth sharing worldwide. *eye roll*

I shouldn’t have to pay for a VPN to watch shows produced by a streaming service that I am already paying for.

Netflix originals and co-productions are available worldwide as far as I know.

A lot of their kdramas aren’t even available in other non-East/Southeast Asian parts of Asia. Talk about terrible planning. I know for a fact they’d gain tons of subscribers from these regions if they made their kdramas available.

The American supremacist attitude (that’s what I’m calling it) of thinking only their own content is internationally popular is getting real annoying, especially after internationally successful shows from several non-English speaking countries. Not that the multi-billion dollar company needs more money, but this is hurting their own bottom line. People shouldn’t have to use VPNs and essentially cheat their way into using their services when many are more than willing to directly pay them. This is ridiculous.

I'm not very tech savvy, but I think it is possible if you install a VPN on your router.
