well 1 stars was good at cracking down on basic VPNs right after black friday, I didn't realize til I got here just how easy it had become, or I may have been swayed to try it. But I dunno, I moved right after black friday for 3 months, decided it wasn't worth it (wife hadn't finished getting US citizenship yet and we had JUST bought a house, and we loved where we lived) so I decided I would stay in the states, start some companies and that was that. Then 2 years went by, one of the companies ended up closing and I saw everyone I had been grinding with same stakes before I left making $750k-1M / year in the post-BF economy, wife had just got her citizenship and I decided it was time to sell the house and move.
(fwiw it was not an easy decision, HUGE stress on my wife / our marriage, she REALLY didn't want to move was just a whole big ordeal)
So yea, VPN'ing would have been a lot easier, would have made everything 100x better in my life and it would have been the much nicer route to take, but I didn't, I took 2 years off when I was in the states, I take months off now every time I go home to visit, and I don't see why I am supposed to fine with sacrificing like all of this $ to the people who didn't move, especially knowing that I won't stay abroad forever we made a calculated choice and are trying to save up as much as possible now.
If stars decides they don't care about the individual VPNr than i'm sure everybody and their brother is going to move back to the US but I doubt they can take that stance with how much they have on the line & deals they have in place in hope to re-enter the US market eventually
