Never liked the "suscription" model, even with games. It's so goddam obvious that companies are the ones who decide what the fuck do, it's not "the future". Suscription model started like a experiment, you fell for it. You, the user, by using it, caused the future. Damn, now I'm pissed.

We need to make the Internet hostile to anyone looking to profit off the attention that is created with the Internet. We should have been guarding the fact that the amount of attention the Internet gets would be monetized. We should have fought with everything against Napster and the attacks on p2p and torrents. We should have stolen and shared every last song and art and movie that someone tried to post online for their new "business" the Internet should have always remained a place where data was "free". I remember early days people warning of how we would slowly lose the principals of the early days and recreate scarcity on a platform that was supposed to eliminate scarcity. That scarcity created technology's and business and special interests that draw a direct line to these groups like Cambridge analytical and Palantir and all the rest.

Both you and people subscribing to music streaming, is to be mocked... I did play wow a lot of years ago, but I got the entertainment - music, I own all my shit there. :-) Movies too.
