I wish there was a way to support the production, actors, writers, vfx artists, animators, etc. of good shows adequately while getting the piracy experience. This system really just fucking sucks. Even if you pay exorbitant amounts to streaming services, the people that made the art get jack shit.
Happily, not really. I pay for YouTube Premium, but I don’t like the monopoly they have and disagree with a lot of their decisions. I’d rather have a different economic system.
But yeah, I’d be willing to pay for the subscription in that case, even if I end up pirating most everything to get a better service.

Piracy + donations or something idk
That would be cool, but there is no good way to donate directly to the people contributing to the media you consume.
I know
Artists are going to have to set up Patreons.
Hmm, let’s see… You could subscribe for all the services and still pirate the content…
subscribing to the services does the opposite of support the workers. that’s why there’s a massive strike right now.
Like I said, subscriptions barely matter for the artists on those projects. Actors and animators generally get no royalties from streaming.
Yep, I think that is what the current strike is about. That and AI stuff.
So if the actors and artists get a fair contract, you will happily pay for subscriptions?

The fuck are you on about?
Merely suggesting the easiest way of paying creaters, while getting the benefits for pirating. What other interpretation can there be?
You aren’t paying creators, you are paying executives and middlemen.
