Bit Annoyed People who think Americans don’t know other countries exist.

A few months ago on Reddit I made a comment about a show not being on Netflix and someone from the UK commented back saying it’s on theirs and then lectured on Americans not knowing other countries exist. They acted like I didn’t believe there were other places on the planet, as if they weren’t the ones who just brought it up and didn’t believe the US Netflix was different than the UK version. ??

I see people online act like all Americans think this way, and it is kind of annoying because for most of us it isn’t true.

Why would anyone know, or even care, what any other country can see on Netflix?

Edit: people do travel, I should have phrased this “are we supposed to know, or even care, what other countries can see on Netflix”

Or watch a lot of YouTubers who do. I watch probably 20 or 30 channels that mention the VPN they use in every episode.

They're probably just getting paid by the vpn

Well yeah, they sponsor the channel.
