The cost of rent/mortgages is going up, the cost of power is now higher than ever, and the cost of essentials (such as food and medication) is nearly double.
People are ditching streaming services because they can no longer afford them, and with price increases there it only makes things worse.
Piracy is the natural fallback, especially in a market where ownership has degenerated into rental. At this point, streaming might follow cable as folks lose access and realise the folly of rental over ownership. Piracy offers a superior service with a superior experience, and the rhetoric of "tHinK oF THe cREatIVes" is wearing thin in the public eye.
Wow, I never thought I'd be seeing Russian Soviet KGB dezinformatsiya and provokatsiya on Lemmy. While it is true that the costs of these things have increased it's simply because we're all in this together the together of punishing Russia and Putler with sanctions so that we can assure endless and resolute Slava Ukrainye!
The fact you're complaining about all this leads me to believe you're not at all a hecking good human being but instead a Nazi bigot chud Putler apologist. You probably don't even think Sam Smith's nonbinary identity is valid. SMH. Do better, sweaty.
What the?
Don’t feign ignorance, Pyotr. Your agitatsiya doesn’t work on me! Begone to your Russian Soviet KGB troll farm and tell Putler we’re not swayed by cheap provokatsiya.
Okay
