I hate it when the streaming services do this. It’s even more frustrating when you see the title in the search results. I understand why it’s like that (because of streaming rights, and ownership and all that), but man, it’s so frustrating.
Streaming services keep forgetting that their success is based on being slightly more convenient than good ol’ piracy.
Like, once you sub a streaming service, doesn’t that sort of free you from large portions of your moral obligation to compensate the creators?
This. This. This. Giving back to the creators is the only morally justified piracy.
For that you need a moral obligation to do so in the first place. If a show/product/etc. is good then im gonna give them money but if i don’t like it they won’t see a cent from me
I pirate lots of content games, movies etc if I feel it’s high quality or if I just thoroughly enjoy it I pay for it, if it’s garbage I stop watching or playing… with how much crap is put out I feel it’s a fare deal
this is the only way that you can enjoy stuff without going bankrupt nowadays
