It's interesting to see how the acceptance rates decrease with age, in an inverse correlation with purchasing power.

Young people are broke, and the entertainment industry is going to have a hard time adapting to this reality in a few years if things don't change.

My legal gaming library is absolutely massive, because I'm able to test games for free first to see if I like it. IMO making people wager $70 that they'll enjoy a game based on doctored trailers shouldn't be legal. Same thing with music. Imagine not being able to listen to an album before buying it.

Bandcamp is a godsend. You can even listen to entire albums legally before you buy!

I probably buy a lot more than the average person and I pirate more too. Companies won‘t see that though no matter how many studies, they just chase their next dollar—worse than a crack addict.

I pay legally for:

  • YouTube Premium
  • Peacock
  • Max
  • Spotify
  • Global Comics

I also have a monthly pass at a local theater chain and see new movies almost every week.

BUT I torrent everything else. Sorry, Universal, I'm not going to pay $24 to rent Fast X.

Why for spotify and youtube? These are big monopolies that already kill their competitors and make ppl resort to piracy in the first place
