Since early 2020 Netflix has cracked down on VPN users by disconnecting sessions at random and terminating SSL connections to their main website. This action is to due to content distributors pressuring Netflix to prevent users from accessing content outside of their geographical zone as they believe this is costing them in terms of profit. The end result is that users who always use a VPN to access the internet are cut from Netflix as collateral damage even if their account is registered in the same country where they connect to a VPN for. While some VPN providers have given up, NordVPN and a few others are battling on to provide their users with peace of mind while accessing services on the internet.
Can I get my money back because Netflix is not delivering the service I paid for?

Just wanted to note that I doubt external forces were forcing Netflix to create the most annoying autoplaying interface system ever on many devices. This is just Netflix's attempt to keep sucking people into its content, whether you want it to play or not. Before you can switch to Amazon Prime or Hulu... "oh, god damn it, another episode started playing" or "oh, crap, this movie is already playing...hey, is that a boob?..."
The faster it serves up content, the less time you have to find stuff on competitors -- or at least that's what I assume the motivation is. How anyone can stand it is beyond me. I was a Netflix subscriber for 18 years, and quit because they forced that shitty interface down my throat. Just thinking about it makes me want to shoot my TV as I hop quickly from show to show trying desperately to keep the damn thing to JUST STOP FUCKING PLAYING!! GOD DAMN IT!!!!
