You actually want most people to pay for this crap so stuff still gets made for us to pirate. Thanks, rubes!
I want to pay. I want creators to be fairly compensated for their work. I just want a structure that doesn’t require a predatory middleman that adds no value.
Look for alternative ways to give them money, like merch and the like.
nah, i want the enshittified services to die so we can have someone else do it properly for a few years before enshittifying again, rinse repeat until capitalism ends.
Since capitalism isn't ending any time soon, I'll have to be satisfied with leeching from it where possible.
