Just a quick note from a U.S. subscriber (well, sometimes-subscriber, I subscribe a few months a year.)

Netflix is usually good at expanding their content across the countries they service. I would not be surprised if they increased their content availability over the months and years across all the countries.

Not being a Netflix apologist here, but I think you're eventually going to get to see more content.

I'm probably dropping my Netflix subscription when the VPN-route fails (seems to work for me now oddly enough). It is silly to expect customers outside of the US to pay a slightly higher subscription fee for a significantly smaller catalogue. The Netherlands hasn't got it as as bad as Poland, but still our catalogue is only half that of the US.

I am willing to pay, and I understand that regional licensing is a complex topic, but I am often interested in the older films and series. It is great that Netflix is rolling out their own shows world-wide, but without the VPN-route it feels like I am subsidising a catalogue I cannot access myself.

Why pay now for a service that won't be sufficient for months or years? Netflix can try to sell to those customers again at that point, though some reputation and trust will have been lost.
