Suppose you want to do something crazy, like watching a sports game on a PC...
There are basically two options.
Option 1:
Step 1: Find a service provider such as TV Vlaanderen via Google.
Step 2: Register an account.
Step 3: Provide private information such as full name, date of birth, telephone number, home address.
Step 4: Prove that you are indeed the owner of the e-mail or telephone number.
Step 5: Give permission to withdraw money from your account during the free trial period.
Step 6: Watch carefully all the time to prevent being subscribed to 'newsletters'.
Step 7: Accept the General Terms and Conditions!
Step 8: Accept third-party cookies!
Step 9: Disable your adblocker!
Step 10: Press 'Play' and see this message:
Step 11: Log in on another computer with a different operating system and browser.
Step 12: Press 'Play' and see this message:
Step 13: Find out how to email customer service. You can't!
Step 14: Fill out a contact form asking for help.
Step 15: Endure the daily SPAM emails.
Step 16: Endure the daily SPAM emails.
Step 17: Endure the daily SPAM emails.
Step 18: Wait fruitlessly for an answer.

With option 2 there is no registration, no Terms and Conditions, the AdBlocker remains on, free, no SPAM in your mailbox, no personal data requested, no idiotic playback errors...

It took them twelve days to reply with general advice like 'update your browser'. And no, I did not watch the sports game in the end... I wonder now how long they will keep spamming my Inbox.
