Streaming tip: Get your money's worth with ExpressVPN You know what’s not fair? Netflix hides thousands of shows and movies from you based on your location and then has the nerve to increase prices yet again. Make sure you’re getting your full money’s worth by using ExpressVPN. What’s on Netflix in the U.S. is completely different from what someone in the U.K. or Japan has on theirs. ExpressVPN has over 90 countries to choose from, so every time you run out of stuff to watch, just switch to another country to unlock new shows. Stop paying full-price for streaming services and only getting access to a fraction of their content. Go to ExpressVPN.com/Kim and get three extra months free. → |
