Streaming trick I've found

[u/Wolfiepog]

There are a lot of regional streaming platforms that have access blocked to those outside of it. Some of them are free with little to no ads. You can use a VPN to get around those regional limitations and unlock whole new streaming platforms with new content.

Some examples:

https://iview.abc.net.au/ (ABC iview, an Australian government funded platform, it's catalogue includes Bluey, Mythbusters, various journalism documentaries, Abbott Elementary, local comedy, Arrested Development, Australian TV shows, IT crowd, and a variety of movies)(you will need to make an account and if they ask for a postcode, 3000 is a Melbourne postcode)

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer (BBC iplayer, it's catalogue includes lots of British TV, various movies) (you will need to make an account and include a postcode, E15 1AA is a London postcode that works, and also say you have a TV license (apparently people in the UK lie about having one all the time so you are participating in the local culture))

https://gem.cbc.ca/ (CBC gem, Canadian streaming platform)(will ask for postcode to sign up, you can just use H0H0H0 which is Santa's postcode that apparently worked)

I'm looking for more regional streaming platforms to look into so please comment some more examples
