What vpn works with this? Neither Mozilla nor mullvad could trick the bbc iplayer
Mozilla uses Mullvad under the hood so no surprise if both doesn't work if one doesn't.
Anyways, you light have to change your locale and/or time zone. I've used iPlayer successfully with Nordvpn myself for a while now.

#33> Many are based in Miami. It’s a place where young marketing types have embraced a vision of what the internet is actually for that is at odds with Silicon Valley’s: less a utopian escape from reality than an infinite expansion of its strip malls. I am glad there is a honeypot for people like this so they won't move here (SV or even SF)
Aversion to sex work aside, how’s this different than some of what’s done in Silicon Valley? Uber will happily extract the remaining equity in your car as you teeter on the brink of homelessness at which point DoorDash will be happy to make you your own boss. Maybe I’m just jaded because it’s hard to find a place to rent wherever there’s a booming market for Airbnb rentals.

#34This definitely happens elsewhere, like live cam sites. This isn't a new practice, but the stakes are higher. It used to be that you could write to "celebrities" for an autograph. You hoped it was the celebrity who signed your thing and mailed it back, but in reality you knew it was probably their spouse or secretary. It wasn't honest, but it's not like they charged you money, and the emotional stakes were lower. The…
Even if it was actually the model doing all of the responding, it is still not a real personal connection with them. It is still just for the money. It is pretend no matter who types the words.

#35I wonder if people realize that they are communicating with the new version of a phone sex line. It seems a little dishonest. Before the Internet, people could call the sex lines and talk to people, and it was your imagination. With the Internet, and only fans, all of the media, it seems disingenuous and a little bit like a scam.
How is it disingenuous or a scam? If you are paying to talk to someone, you know there is no real connection. If there was a real connection you wouldn’t have to pay. So clearly you know you are buying something pretend, so where is the scam?

Ultimately if users are satisfied and happy, does it even matter if it is fake? The end goal is not to create a real relationship, it is to create a happy fantasy for the buyer.
They are satisfied because they think they have this connection with a real women, not a guy from an English speaking lower cost country.
If they think they have a real relationship with the real woman behind the camera, they are as delusional as the people who tweet at celebrities and think they have a real relationship with them.

I mean, there's also post-internet real phone sex lines with real people.
Obviously NSFW, but for instance niteflirt.com uses internet technology so you can call people, but neither of you learns the others' phone number, privacy is preserved, etc.

#39I have a lot of trouble begrudging anybody anything in this, even though I don't like it. The models who own the pages can't possibly give everyone in their subscriber base what they want. The subscribers are looking for a product, and they're getting it. The comparisons some have made to infidelity or cheating seem misplaced: There's no real relationship here, except a business relationship, and expecting a random w…

The business transaction there was "I'll support you if you give me an heir." Infidelity is a clear breach of that fucked up transaction, which is why it was a big deal. Not really similar to buying a video online.
