Streaming services keep forgetting that their success is based on being slightly more convenient than good ol’ piracy.

Which is why this remains relevant.
Like, once you sub a streaming service, doesn’t that sort of free you from large portions of your moral obligation to compensate the creators?
For that you need a moral obligation to do so in the first place. If a show/product/etc. is good then im gonna give them money but if i don’t like it they won’t see a cent from me
I pirate lots of content games, movies etc if I feel it’s high quality or if I just thoroughly enjoy it I pay for it, if it’s garbage I stop watching or playing… with how much crap is put out I feel it’s a fare deal
this is the only way that you can enjoy stuff without going bankrupt nowadays
Set up your own media server with all the *arr applications (google these, they are amazing), then you will really be sailing the high seas with no need for streaming services.
I can’t seem to find a clear answer without being redirected to a private reddit sub… Can you give me an example of such an app? A brief explanation of what those apps are would also be nice
