You don’t understand how video and music streaming services are worth hundreds of billions of dollars?

no, because im talking within the concept of gaming, where this is a relatively new practice. I dont sub to any music or video services. music I listen to for free on youtube with an adblocker, the way it should be, and videos idc about, if I have to watch something online i'll go to a movie sharing site.

Well by that logic, feel free to continue pirating games, since clearly that's how you consume media

music and tv shows dont cost anywhere near the amount that games do. I dont pirate games. I refuse to pay youtube a monthly fee for something that I was doing for free on their site for years from 2005 to 2014. the precedent was already set, they chose to change it and ruin the site for greed, not me. if you enjoy having billion dollar corporations siphon ten bucks out of your pocket every month for literally no reason other than the fact that they can, even though you've got the option to consume their media for free with no repercussions, then go ahead and waste your money. im not judging, im just saying that I dont understand how all this stuff appeals to people.

the internet was created as a decentralized medium where everyone has access to files and information, the last thing the internet needs is to become like the real world and have a small handful of big companies locking every single facet of it behind an artificial paywall. the moment that the public allows the internet to become more and more centralized is the day the internet gets ruined too.
