I was going to comment that torrent client, torrent search and VPN aren't necessarily used for piracy, and then I saw the search query.

Realistically though, these three publishers must've added “netflix” as keyword, and Flathub must've not noticed/cared. Still funny as fuck, though.

Also ProtonVPN is missing the blue check mark so it is published by the community. Not sure ProtonVPN would approve of the world Netflix to advertise their service.

Yep, it's in the description:

I don't think they'd care though, they have an entire page dedicated to netflix on their own website:

https://protonvpn.com/streaming/netflix

Edit: they just copied the description of the Android app word for word

Pretty sure they wouldn't, indeed.

ahah great indeed. I also wanted to comment that Torrent... aren't necessary for piracy.

Unfathomably based by the publishers, regardless.

Yeah, I checked and the publisher of Torrhunt and the client did add “netflix torrent” as a search term, the third party individual who put ProtonVPN there added “Watch Netflix from any device” in the description for some reason.
