I never left the high seas because I knew the sociopaths running these corps would screw everything eventually. It was obvious with the way they treated music streaming...

Even though I completely stopped pirating music a decade ago, since I could listen to everything I wanted to on Spotify, when I paid for Netflix I'd still torrent the content I liked. Now that content is no longer on Netflix, but they are still on my hard drives, and I can watch them wherever I want.

If consumers stopped paying for streaming services en mass, they'd be forced to change their business model, but they'll keep making money by screwing both consumers and their workers because consumers are people, and people are idiots.
