    Hmm, let’s see… You could subscribe for all the services and still pirate the content…

      subscribing to the services does the opposite of support the workers. that’s why there’s a massive strike right now.

        Merely suggesting the easiest way of paying creaters, while getting the benefits for pirating. What other interpretation can there be?

      Like I said, subscriptions barely matter for the artists on those projects. Actors and animators generally get no royalties from streaming.

        So if the actors and artists get a fair contract, you will happily pay for subscriptions?

          Happily, not really. I pay for YouTube Premium, but I don’t like the monopoly they have and disagree with a lot of their decisions. I’d rather have a different economic system.

          But yeah, I’d be willing to pay for the subscription in that case, even if I end up pirating most everything to get a better service.
