Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I don't pirate everything. But I do pirate a good portion of what I consume on media.
There are a few groups/singers I follow and I try to support them directly by buying on bandcamp or buying their discs directly from them; they're mostly indie bands that rarely leave their country.
And I also buy some indie games when I feel they are worth it.
The rest? Yeah, seven seas for everything.
This is the way. Voluntary support of artists rather than mandatory support of IP holders and gatekeepers.
I do whatever is easiest or works the best. For TV and movies, that's jellyfin and piracy. For music, that's Tidal. For games, that's Steam.
TV and movies is stremio for me, I refuse to pay for that shit. It was fine when you had only netflix, but now? You need several different streaming services if you want to follow something, and they are worsening by the day.
For music, I try to buy the music so I can put it up on my jellyfin server. I'm not one who needs thousands of different songs, so in my case, buying an album every now and then is cheaper than paying a sub for millions of songs that I don't need.
Games it's Steam for me too, I rarely play an AAA big game, like extremely rarely; most of my games are indies. Generally I pirate games to try them. If I like them, I end up buying (sometimes, months after I finished the pirated game, when I have disposable to spend or when I find them discounted), if not, I uninstall and forget about them.
