    To be fair: there may be licensing issues or geo blocked content which they are forbidden from serving you and must make a reasonable effort.

      Maybe they should say so then instead of pretending they’re concerned they might not be able to serve “the best content”.

      Those ‘licensing issues’ are a small part of the reason streaming, cable TV, and absolutely anything with any sort of intellectual property rights have become guarded by an iron curtain of shitfuck.

      Licensing at this point has become a pretense to declare war in court. Sidenote that copyright laws in general are severly outdated as well. I mean the DMCA itself was written in 1998 and hasn’t been updated in any meaningful way since then.
