Any opinions on the morality of it? We only just got better agreements for writer profit sharing, so while previously we could say "it was never supporting the creators anyway", I'd argue that it's slightly more supportive of the industry than it used to be, especially if the actors' strike yields fruit.
We aren't obligated to pay for the service that is responsible for the writers lack of profits in the first place. We also shouldn't get used to renting everything online and not owning anything.
There's still virtually nothing going to the writers. If you want to support writers, you can send your favorite ones 10% of the amount you save and it will be 100x more than they would have made off you otherwise.
