The normies have finally found out? Kek
“the new approach is subscribe to one or two services and pirate the rest”
i’ll just pirate everything and subscribe to nothing thnx
I pay for YouTube because I hate ads and I use the music service heavily… I also pay (A LOT) for a MotoGP subscription, but that’s sports, and unless I’m awake when there’s a race being pirate streamed I’d be sol.
For everything else, i sail the salty seas
I usually watch YouTube through a laptop that blocks ads.
The YouTube ads are still annoying on my phone, etc., but not nearly as bad as Spotify (unusable).
You can use the spotify website, then your adblocker takes care of the ads, you can shuffle songs how you want and play certain songs as you like, without paying for their shit.
I’m not picking a yt link, but just replying to the title: streaming wasn’t a mistake. Price creep and content fragmentation (needing a subscription for every studio out there) was the mistake
Yeah piracy more or less died down when Netflix blew up, made it available and easy to stream things legally and they had tons of content.
Now there are 50 services with its own subscription fee and their own library, and they pulled their content from Netflix so no service have a decent library.
So you either have to hop between subscriptions as you watch series and movies, or you pirate.
I don’t pirate music because Spotify is good enough for me, but I guess it’s just a matter of time before all the big record labels start their own shit service to stream their music.
Plus, if you don’t watch on the right device and browser, you get shit quality.
original hulu was great because i could just catch up on literally all the shows the next day and not have to worry about cable
