Spent $60 on a VPN to read a blocked article and it totally changed my view

I wanted to read a news piece my local library's wifi blocked, so I bought a subscription. Now I'm wondering how many other stories I've missed because of simple geo-blocking.

Just a heads up, a lot of libraries block stuff for legal reasons, not just geo-blocking. You can sometimes ask a librarian for help getting to that info for free, lol.

Oh for sure. My buddy was trying to find some old court records for a project and hit a wall online. He asked at the library and the librarian knew exactly which database to get him into for free.

I used to think libraries were outdated, but "ask a librarian for help" really changed my mind.
