I think this is true for most people on Lemmy. But I do wonder what the average streaming users will do. What about “free” streaming platforms like Channel 4 in the UK? Content is king, and the path of least resistance will always trump.

In my household, where we pirate very very rarely if ever (the last time I’m aware of was 2010, though I’m not the software engineer in the relationship), we plan to: a) cycle between apps as needed; and b) frankly, watch less tv. We’re watching a couple of things on Netflix right now but once we’re done, that’s the next to go, much to my kids’ dismay. They’ll get over it.

Pluto TV is massively popular with my older relatives. Free, plays the shows they like, and they don’t care about the obnoxious ads. Luckily none of them have bought the fake gold coins, Trumpy Bears (don’t even look it up), or Shitty My Pillows yet.
