I was aware basically every expat used a VPN/roaming cell service. Your home internet is unusable if you don't.

No, VPNs are slow and unreliable. Many expats go without. After paying yearly fees for a couple of VPNs that stopped working a couple of weeks after the fees were paid, I gave up also.

You learn to live inside the Chinese internet. Video sharing sites in China have ripped most everything off of YouTube anyways, and there is less enforcement of copyrights.

VPN's are becoming increasingly difficult to use.
