The verge: "it started with ads and blabla".
No.
It started when people were pirating and life was good. Then the streaming came with a good product and a fair price -> people agreed with that and people stopped pirating.
Companies started to enshitify the product, we are now at this point.
I am not suggesting you what to do.
But we all know what TO do.
Not even close
I know a bunch of people on lemmy don't constitute a diversified survey, but this is verbatim me.
