I will pay for one streaming service, if your content isn't available on there it will be on my jellyfin and my kids are happy to use that.

This is roughly where I'm at. I'm paying for one, maybe two. That's it. After that I'm not gonna waste my time, esp. when a VPN is cheaper and can give me better overall service.

Who even needs a VPN?

at least everyone in the US, probably in several other countries as well

But, but, but, I thought the US was the land of the free...

... companies?
