Context and perspective matter of course but yes if people just stopped relying and paying for services which can be easily and cheaply hosted the subscription streaming model would just collaps.

There used to be excuses. A spare computer is expensive, they demand power, you need to know how. But times have changed. A discarded laptop can often be aquired for free. The software is all FOSS. (Free)

Preferences are of course personal but in mine the self hosted apps are often of a higher quality then the paid stuff.
