VPN are a scam business run by offshore companies in budget datacenters with the cheapest possible employees.

It probably doesn't matter because 99.999% only want to access Netflix in another country. Out of the remaining 0.001%, most are just people from repressive countries dodging their country's porn filters.

If they are giving people the service they want then how is it a scam?

It sounds like you have something against VPN providers...

There are loads of trash VPN providers, but there are a lot of genuine ones that really care about privacy activism and provide an honest service.
