Feels like there's more to it than that. But yeah, we did believe the ads and want what we were promised.

Speaking personally, it's literally that. I used to pay for Netflix, HBO, Prime and Disney+, now I don't pay for anything.

The reasons are quite simple:

everything got more and more expensive
some of the services started pushing ads down my throat even though I paid for them (usually the higher tier)

So I got back to torrenting + self-hosting (had to migrate from Plex to Jellyfin because even self-hosted solutions are turning to shit).

Oh that's definitely in there, but you feel a kind of resentment and 'why the fuck do i need these people?' On top of it, right?

plex to jelly fin

If you pay for it, you do not own it. Only that taken with lead steel or lies is ever really yours.

Or what's freely given, i guess, but corporations can't do that.

They pretty much nailed it as far as I'm concerned.
