@PaulaToThePeople thank you.
I think my main point is, and I also think we agree on that, we need to make "the economy" work for the workers (in the wider sense) and that's where the streamers (excluding the cesspool Spotify, which doesn't give anything back) have a little different role from most of the other services.
Because film production is sort of a little "village" in and of itself, with carpenters, builders, tailors etc etc...
your compassion knows no bounds.
But it's understandable that for me and the people I work with - creating movies and series is the way of supporting our lives and our families.
It's alright, you can of course keep your absolutist opinion. I think it is wrong and all I wanted to do is add the perspective from the trenches.
Re: Amazon video, Disney+, Netflix, Spotify, etc. -> Torrents
This is a bit of a double edged sword as these services (except Spotify, which should just disappear) actually do provide the livelihood of round about 300 people for each show / movie they produce.
While I'm not happy at all with their business practices nor a lot of their content, there is actual economic value here.
The decent thing here would be to just not consume the content.
