This time, pirating OTT services because exclusives will make customers lose interest.

Not to mention generally shitty business practices and eve more arbitrary regional locking than you might think. I was living in a non-English speaking country back when I was willing to pay for Netflix and I tried watching an anime only to find I couldn't get the English dub. I contacted support and their answer was "You don't live in an English-speaking region so it doesn't make sense for you to have access to it 🤷🏻‍♂️". I stopped paying on the spot.
