let’s face it, producing that content isn’t as profitable as producing clickbait lol ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/d/2/d23e0ee0df25267302760554a2ecadb5d7477d08.jpeg) ---

It was interesting that they said they had “hundreds of thousands” of paid subscribers. ---

what does “following closure, you can still use your GCN account on the GCN website”? are there races on the GCN website? what’s the difference btw the website and GCN+. I will have a mental breakdown without races to watch on the trainer ---

> [@hubcyclist](#): > > ultimate climbing bike isn’t clickbait? a ridiculous premise to get someone to watch is very much clickbait, at least that’s how i feel Tragic loss of GCN+'s highest quality race coverage! Still, more time now available to watch the endless “free” garbage GCN throws onto Youtube, while scrolling through pics of some saddos’ commutes… 😥 ---

> [@ChefAcB](#): > > I just wonder if Warner/discovery is taking up all these races. I think it will depend on your region….for Euroland, it sounds like this is indeed what will happen through one of their other services. For the rest of the world, we are in “Wait and see” mode, unfortunately….which sucks. I really hate it when announcements like this are made without a clear path for moving forward. Just leaves people wondering WTF is going on. > [@Pbase](#): > > they had “hundreds of thousands” of paid subscribers Which honestly is pretty low when you factor in that it is a global audience. ---

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a Eurosport subscription outside of the EU if you use a VPN? Or do you need an EU postal code / CC# in order to secure the subscription? ---

Also curious about this. Also curious if we’d be able to get all the races on discovery+ with a vpn to the UK? ---

Clickbait is when the title or packaging of the video/article misrepresents what’s actually in the content in order to get you to click on it. If you watch either of those videos, you’re going to get exactly what they’re telling you in the title/thumbnail. They may be stupid videos or unscientific experiments, but they’re not misrepresented by the packaging. Making the packaging of your content as intriguing and enticing as possible to the potential viewer is just good marketing and what every creator SHOULD be doing. ---

Is there or will there be any way for someone in the US to VPN to the UK and get the eurosport coverage without getting a VPN block? I’m already doing the VPN bit with GCN+. I can also get a private IP through my VPN provider. ---

When I subscribed a few years ago from the US, I had to use PayPal in addition to a VPN to subscribe successfully. CC wouldn’t work. After that, I only needed the VPN for the app as needed. ---

agreed, Flo is total crap. I subscribed for a total of 1 hour and canceled. Looks like for US, it’s Eurosport + VPN + Paypal? Anybody going to try this route any time soon and report back here? ---

Man this sucks, especially for a US cycling fan. The hope is that if all the content/coverage is indeed being migrated over to Discovery+ that it will be just as easy to use a VPN to watch said geo-locked coverage with a Discovery subscription. ---
