I love how everyone here are just saying to pirate. I wonder if someone made one streaming platform to rule them all. I'm talking no ads, no missing parts, no extra fees, no shitty quality streams. Would people still pirate, as they just bearly reached what piracy offers, or would ppl just be happy that they can pay and then actually watch shows?
Steam made buying games and making them run on Linux so easy I no longer pirate games. So yes I probably would
yeap steam is the best example of a service i'd very happily pay - I've paid LOTS to them and just last month, I downloaded "have a nice death" for yuzu, played 30", loved it and insta bought it on steam. It was 25 euros but having my saves forever and being able to single click install & play is something that I value more.
you don't get to get my money AND fuck me, pick one (netflix, youtube, etc.)
