 You may have missed this earlier. Piracy came close to disappearing, then streaming companies decided to push for better margins. Guess what happened next?

 @29b9efc5 I used to "acquire" everything. Paid for Netflix and Disney for quite a few years now but everything has splintered so much there are sometimes shows/movies I want to watch that I don't want to sign up for another streaming service.

I think the video game industry has a much better model. I get most of what I want from Xbox Gamepass and freebies through Epic. Anything else I will buy and I'm happy to do that every now and then.
