    Enlighten me. What damage do you thinking they are doing by snooping in my streaming traffic? Aside from profiling me and predicting my every move lol. But even with a VPN they are still finding ways to profile me.

    As far as Lemmy instances, they are likely in a tough spot. You can’t build an enjoyable platform if it’s crawling with bots.


  • Honestly I’m mostly leeching off my friends lol. And my cell provider bundles Netflix.

    It’s not super tedious. Every time something doesn’t work, I just add it to my VPN exclusion list. I don’t really care if my ISP snoops on Netflix tbh.

    The VPN blocking doesn’t really bother me. It’s the enshitification of streaming services that bothers me. E.g. why does every paid service now trying to show me ads.

    Btw, a lot of Lemmy instances also don’t play nice with a VPN. Probably to block bots. PieFed is likely the same.

    I went down the privacy rabbit hole, and I think it was bad for my mental health. I decided I don’t care, and what I really want is for technology to just not influence my decisions (e.g. ads influencing my purchasing decisions). Beyond that, I don’t care.

    I mean I do care, but it’s overwhelming and ultimately the toll it takes on me isn’t worth it.
