Umm, dude. Even the topic you linked was marked solved:
Well, I wanted to show a screenshot that I’m not experiencing the issue, but they have the protection so it just shows black screen on screenshot. Nevertheless, I don’t have the issue you’re speaking about. Everything played just fine with Shields up.
As to VPN, that’s going to be your big issue to an extent. To quote from sources online:
Paramount+, just like other streaming services, tries to block VPNs from connecting to its service. It does this to protect itself from potential copyright and licensing issues . Paramount+ only has the rights to broadcast its content in the US
Question is, does it work for you on Brave? I mean, I’m able to view with absolutely no issue here on Brave. Links to things I tested on viewing (doing it so not clickable link, but you can copy/paste)
Not condescending at all. You sat here and claimed nobody has been able to provide a solution and provided a link as an example. I looked at what information you provided and found that a solution had been found. Rather than call you a dumbass or a liar, which would have been condescending, I instead shared that I was confused as the topic you linked to was marked solved. This made no claims or assumptions, it just stated facts and left it remaining for you to describe why you said it had no solution even though one was provided.
I then also made sure to quote what resolved the issue for others. This gave you an option to advise if it’s something you tried and if it worked. While trying to help look for other causes, I spent time researching online for anyone else who experienced difficulties and instead found articles confirming what person in post you linked mentioned, that VPN created conflict and is being blocked by Paramount+.
That said, I know the one screenshot you shared that mentioned not loading because of ad-blocking software was a bit different. So I also tested the website and I was able to view videos. You mentioned an extension and suggested Brave use what the extension does for Shields. I then asked you if you had the extension installed on Brave and if it works? Again, people share things sometimes without testing or will use on a browser other than Brave. So it’s asking for clarity.
And to show issue, you couldn’t respond with any of that. You couldn’t say “oh, I linked to the wrong topic” or “I meant to say that solution didn’t work for me and I couldn’t find any other answers.” Nothing of the sort. Also seems like you couldn’t even manage to respond with “yes, the extension works on Brave and is the only way I’m able to watch Paramount+” or perhaps “I tried turning off my VPN and the result was…”
