Piracy has never been easier or safer or faster than it is now, and these platforms think driving people away with overpriced subscriptions for shitty content is beneficial for them?
Piracy isn’t easier than not bothering to cancel your subscription for most people. I’m sure they’ll lose some people, and especially the demographic here, but I don’t know about the average person.

What?! It was way easier and safer in the era of Napster, edonkey and emule. Easy discoverability and companies didn't pay any attention yet. Since then it's a cat and mouse game.
