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.
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.
