Sure it is. The only way to dislike something is misunderstanding.

Because it is stupid.

I know. That meme is stupid however. Which is my exact point.

Because it goes against the hive mind.

They report profits and revenue tho. They do make money.

>Yes, in fact, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

This is the "you critique capitalism but you use an iphone meme".

Advertisement in tv rely on eyes to watch it. If there are no eyes, how would it be profitable?

If the overwhelming majority of people like OP above me were to stop consuming legally and opted for piracy?

Yeah, ofc it'd disappear.

Anyone who try to convince you to pay for shit is amoral?

I mean, if people do not pay for television, soon enough you will have nothing to pirate. Better keep thanking they can afford to pay.

>It's more convenient right up until it isn't.

It is still more convenient tho.

Besides it's better than there are a bunch of streamers, it doesn't only force them to keep making amazing content but prevents a monopoly. Which would only lead to a sharp increase of prices or far less content... Likely to both.

Pirating can be dragging and slow.

At the end of the day, it doesn't really surprise me why less people are pirating now. it's not really worth my time, when I can just subscribe to whatever streamer I like to watch something in particular and then cancel and rinse and repeat.

It's peak convenience.

Why would you pirate something you believe has no quality?

I'd be surprised if the number was that high tbh.

Streaming is far more convenient than pirating. It's not really surprising that people opt to stream.

I mean HBO also has trashy Reality shows.
