Comment on Apple TV+ is painful as fuck

You can pay for the subscription while getting the content onto your computer through other means, this is sadly the best compromise and it also gives you long term access and ownership of things you want to hold onto, with no DRM bullshit and the creators still get paid.
P.S - whatever content you want to support, make sure to let it play on mute in the background, just so the streaming service knows it’s actually popular and worth supporting

Thanks for giving OP the opportunity to give money to a corporation with more money than Hades.

I don’t get what’s so wrong with paying for a service he finds useful. If everybody sailed the high seas, there would be zero content for you to watch.

If everyone sailed the high seas, we’d be a lot closer to a communist revolution, and then artists wouldn’t need a profit motive to survive. They could just make art.

TV shows and movies don’t get made for free mate. The people making and producing them need to get paid one way or another, if nobody paid for anything, nothing would get made. I got everything for free when I was a kid but as an adult if I can afford to pay for something and I like it I will pay for it as it’s not only the right thing to do buy the only way to guarantee good stuff still gets made

You’re forgetting about communism
