10. So are you implying that's a bad thing?

Just sayin'...maybe consider learning more about it.

Netflix is available in every country and territory except for China, North Korea, Syria, and Russia.
January 2016, Netflix announced it would begin VPN blocking since it can be used to watch videos from a country where they are unavailable. Such blocking is used to a) enforce regional licensing agreements for streaming services and prevent users from accessing content outside of their authorized geographic area, and b) block anonymous users who may be spammers or hackers from accessing their content. The result of the VPN block is that people can only watch videos available worldwide and other videos are hidden from search results.


It's also originally produced some great quality, for which it's won awards.

January 2025, Netflix received 18 Academy Award nominations across six titles—the most of any studio.[517] Thirteen of those nominations belonged to the musical crime drama Emilia Pérez, making it the most nominated film of the year and the most nominated non-English language film in Academy history. Emilia Pérez ultimately won an award for Best Original Song for "El Mal" and Zoe Saldaña was awarded Best Supporting Actress. Other Netflix films recognized with nominations were The Only Girl in the Orchestra, which took home the award for Best Documentary Short, Pablo Larraín's Maria, Tyler Perry's The Six Triple Eight, animated feature Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, and live-action short film Anuja.[518]

In July 2025, Netflix received 120 Emmy nominations, including 13 nods for Adolescence, 11 for Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story and 10 for Black Mirror.[519] It won 30, including eight for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series winner Adolescence. The show's star, Owen Cooper, was the youngest Emmy winner ever in any male acting category at 15 years old.
