I agree. I paid for years for music and video streaming, but all I see is widespread enshitification, rising prices and the reintroduction of ads, despite paying. On top of that everything I do is used for profiling and surveillance. It is sickening. I'll happily pay for the service that gives me a good product and does not track me.

Lastly, you give them money and you still don't own anything. I cancelled my Kindle subscription after all the stories of them pulling books out of people's private libraries after they paid for them.
