A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I think my last sentence includes your "missing option", actually. Take streaming for example, I'm not paying for 6 different streaming services. I can't, I won't, and I'm not going to juggle them every couple months either. So I pirate. Even if for some reason I couldn't pirate their stuff, I just wouldn't watch it. Either way, they don't get my money.
