I live near multiple regional hubs. I have no subscription myself. It takes them 4-7 days to get my package to me.

My friends who live on the same block as me gets them in 1-2 days with their prime memberships

This includes if we both order the same exact things.

So yeah, YMMV

Wait... I already now get annoying ads in the middle of watching a show. Now they want to add more ads to Prime Video? That's absolutely ridiculous.

I personally like AirVPN. Pretty good speeds depending on the server. You can port forward and have up to 5 devices connected simultaneously. Make sure you're using the Wireguard protocol.

Only issue is that Eddie (their GUI) kinda sucks. Works okay on Linux, and probably same on Windows. The Android one just really sucks.

I personally just download the wireguard configs to use.

I guess looking at their official 2023 report, it does look like they make a lot in the North American Zone (Canada, US, Mexico) compared to other zones.

What VPN are you using? in c/[email protected]

If you don't need port forwarding, Mullvad is my pick. Since they got rid of port forwarding, I've moved to AirVPN and am happy with them. I just dislike AirVPNs' GUI app, Eddie. I mainly use Wireguard directly for their servers.

I am confused why you're talking about USA. The article doesn't mention USA, and Nestle is a Swiss company.

I mean, better regulations in the US would be great though

That's because Feeder does their OPML file differently. Their OPML file includes Feeder settings. You have to wait for v0.9.13 release that makes it compatible. It'll be the next release. Current release is v0.9.12

If you want to actually fully degoogle, you wouldn't want to use Revanced. Revanced just patches the official YouTube App.

I personally use NewPipe when watching on my phone, but I do have Revanced YouTube installed as well just for casting to my TV. Convenience for me.

Different use. Feeder only works locally.

Read You can sync with multiple types of RSS servers. I love using it with FreshRSS. Great for people who use multiple devices.
