$5 means a lot more to someone who earns $5 in a day.

Look, if the companies are willing to look into a minimum wage and median salary when crafting prices for different countries, we might be easily convinced.

Do you know how much stuff you have available in Netflix? Now imagine having a choice between pirating and paying the same price as you do in a developed country for like 30% of the US catalogue. All that while earning much, much less.



Regional pricing is a thing. In fact many deal sites go into how to pay less for streaming services via VPN.


You do get a majorly diminished catalogue though.
