  And, yet, the multi-billion dollar industries keep on keeping on.

  And as more people refuse to pay and pirate, studios enlist copyright trolls to chase down piracy as an avenue of compensation. That is until a new game-changing service that disrupts the industry (the way Netflix first did by offering a single solution at a reasonable price), followed by copycat services fragmenting access to media at price increases, and the cycle repeats.

  Such is the routine cycle of capitalism and greed.

  I wonder if they even evaluate cause of unsubscription. A re-subscription simply brings their DAU/MAU (daily-active-users/monthy-active-users) stats up, and maintains the average trend…

  A real message would be to not give them that count…

  I costume my media on anything that can access the internet. Even on a stream deck, thanks to Plex. As another user posted, Emby and Jellyfin are alternatives as well.
