    Ha, I mean, it’s not like there is a huge buy-in. If there was a good convenient service again, I’d start using it. When it invariably it goes to shit, I’ll stop paying and go back to downloading. Just like I did with Netflix.

    If enough people stopped paying because of their bullshit, maybe that would pave the way for a a platform where you actually feel like you own the shit you paid for.

      If one does the math for an average single income US household, a modest broadband connection is 15-20% of their disposable income. They survive on metered cellular.

      If there was a good convenient service again, I’d start using it.

      I’ll stay right where I’m at, paying less for more and giving more to content creators of substance, and with the convenience of a stable system.
