It was just a matter of time for everyone to follow suit. Unfortunately, capitalism demands endless growth and thus eventually enshittification of products. They're not happy with just tons of money. They want all the money.
Expect to see adless tiers constantly rising in price every year. This will push users to piracy again as we come full circle to terrible cable fees.
Way ahead of you. been pirating for years.

20+ yrs for me.
Upside is I have no idea what people are talking about when they reference ads. :)
Nah. Capitalism can contract just fine. It has happened many times before. Do we not read history books around here? It only demands that it not sit still.
But that's not actually a feature of capitalism. That's a feature of competition, which is present in many economic systems (and even where there is a lack of economic systems). Do we not read the work of Marx either?
How is password cracking a feature of competition? I am not trying to dismantle your argument but I am struggling to see how your argument works in this case.
That is the strangest typo ever made. Congratulations?
Right. And piracy is legitimate competition that enshitification drives users to.
Just following that free market, right?
Digital piracy is fundamentally only possible in a non-free market. Whatβs with all the posting before thinking?
Go for it, bud.
Explain it so my inferior intellect can understand.
How do free market economics completely circumvent digital piracy?
I am all ears.
