Yeah it’s the age old problem of “I’d love to pay for this, but the experience would be objectively worse”.
Like even if you’re capitalism-pilled and are determined to pay for your media, your best option is still having to subscribe to 10-20 streaming services and that comes with the aggravation of having to google search every time you want to watch a new show, to find out which service it’s on. Pirates who pay nothing for their media get everyone all in one place.
