I totally get the anger with Netflix. I fucking hate them as a filmmaker. But I really don't think a long term solution is pirating content.
BUY CONTENT YOU LIKE
Is it more expensive? Of course it is, that's part of an equitable society. Also it means you end up with content you really like and not a bunch of junk.
It's made intentionally hard though. Try buying The Expanse Blu Ray collection for example. Season 4 literally only comes region A locked, and is not playable on non modified Blu-ray players if you're in the EU. I was excited to buy it after getting a decent Blu-ray player so I could rewatch it with my partner who hasn't seen it, but something dumb like that does put a damper on things, so we haven't even bothered with it, despite downloading it.
