I've been 8 years with PIA and it served me well. I am due for renewal soon and have been notified of a significant price jump (30 to 50 per year). Considering the current climate of everything getting more expensive for little reason and me getting tired of this, I'm considering jumping ship. I may subscribe to their 3 year plan for cheap again; I have only good things to say about PIA after all. However, I figured it's time to weigh my options for the first time in a long time, especially now since I've been out of the VPN market for so long.

My question to you guys is: what are alternatives you feel are better than PIA (geo-gating effectiveness, geographical availability, speed...), preferably in the $3/mo ballpark.

I don't think it was like this yesterday. Seems more sites are going behind a paywall.

When I was a teenager one of my local channels played this kids movie with Ernest Borgnine in it, called Captiva Island. I saw it once and it never came on again.

I have tried to track it down over and over again throughout the years, only to find that it was quite literally produced by the Captiva Island chamber of commerce and it's not available in any format. No VHS, no DVD, no streaming. Hell, I even reached out to the estate of Ernest Borgnine with no luck.

Someone uploaded the movie to YouTube LAST MONTH and I just found it. I fully expect it to be terrible and to not have held up at all, but I HAVE IT SAVED TO MY COMPUTER NOW. MY SEARCH IS FINALLY OVER.

Kinda gotta love Windscribe. Possibly the cheapest vpn out there and they didn't fold in court like others have.

I’ve tried to avoid piracy. I have. I don’t have much money, but I do like for people in the entertainment industry to have jobs. I’m not talking about the celebrities. I mean the people like you and I that make movies and tv shows function.

But I’m fed up. I have all these streaming services but there is rarely anything I want to watch. I’ve begun watching old movies I haven’t seen in 10-20 years and that’s been good. Except when I want to watch “Snatch”, I have to pay $3.99. I don’t think so.

Plus, I’m so sick of advertising. I think it’s having a real negative effect on my mental health. I even saw a reel on Facebook that wrestling now has advertisements on the ring mat. I haven’t watched wrestling in 10 years or so but I saw a clip from Wrestlemania this year and there was advertisements on the wrestling mat. That is insane.

I’ve tried to avoid piracy. But, I think it’s time to pull out utorrent and pirate everything. That sucks. But, I’m not gonna pay $3.99 to watch Snatch and I’m not going to keep letting companies advertise to me.

Thanks for reading. I just needed to type this somewhere besides the notepad in my phone.

The EFF provides a straightforward method for you to contact your congressional representatives, encouraging them to oppose FADPA. Whether you reside in the United States or elsewhere, your support can have an impact, however minor, in demonstrating solidarity on this issue.
