So true! But I found a trick where you can get Jellyfin cheap if you buy it pretending to be a resident of another country. Here's some prices:
Vietnam - 0₫ (VND) India - ₹0 (INR) Indonesia - Rp0 (IDR) Philippines - ₱0 (PHP) Thailand - ฿0 (THB) Mexico - Mex$0 (MXN) Brazil - R$0 (BRL) South Africa - R0 (ZAR) Turkey - ₺0 (TRY) China - ¥0 (CNY) Malaysia - RM0 (MYR) Egypt - E£0 (EGP) Argentina - AR$0 (ARS) Japan - ¥0 (JPY) South Korea - ₩0 (KRW) Singapore - S$0 (SGD) Australia - A$0 (AUD) New Zealand - NZ$0 (NZD) Canada - C$0 (CAD) United Kingdom - £0 (GBP) European Union countries - €0 (EUR) United States - $0 (USD)
I'm starting to think about getting a VPN so I can fake my location for these geographic dynamic pricing systems.
