A good way is to refuse to give money to such services, which being unable to access them, dovetails nicely.
Incidentally this also makes torrenting safe, and everything on Netflix can be downloaded via BitTorrent.

That's an interesting point. I wonder what Starlink is doing with any DMCA complaints aimed at IP address traffic.
4K high bitrate HDR / dolby vision + dolby atmos is surprisingly a pain to find in general.

I don't use Netflix but that never happened to me.

I'd go so far as to say that it's actually never happened to anyone that doesn't use Netflix.

I can't tell if this is a 'by definition' comment or if you mean that Netflix is the only major service which blocks VPN IPs.
The latter isn't quite true, sometimes a site is having a bad day and sets up Cloudflare rules which make VPN access impractical or impossible, but it's more true than not: I can usually use Netflix off a VPN, just not consistently.
It would be nice if there were some way to decouple connectivity from addressing, without becoming a second-class citizen of the internet.
