Currency isn't an issue as I use a Revolut card, so I've recently paid painlessly in Hungarian Florint, Norwegian kroner kroner and Aussie $.
I'll guess the vloggers are making claims that can't be substantiated
Even Netflix blocks VPN addresses known to them. Vloggers use Netflix because it's one of the better known streamers. I mean if you mention iplayer to most people outside of the UK, I'd say less than 5% of the people you talk to would known it's a BBC service. Honestly, (and I've said this in the forums on multiple occasions) a VPN is really only useful if you want to mask your location, and it is really only useful if you use it as part of a solution. Most people who use a VPN (and those who do not) are leaking identity information like crazy. I only use them to mask where I am and who I am (if I need to). No other real purpose.
