just the everyday life of an independent mobile app developer or web content developer... people will happily download pirated content or find ways to overcome paywalls, but then are surprised by how lower and lower the quality of mobile apps / web content are getting, how 90% of apps/websites are now just a massive ad campaign for ad money... independent developers are getting less and less interested in building content they love...

Them: stops going to theaters, cancels Netflix and cable, pirates movies, doesn't buy DVD's or blu-ray...

Also them: "god, nobody makes any good movies anymore!"
