When did we reach a point piracy has better service than paying? (sh.itjust.works)

At least for media, piracy websites have a more extensive catalogue (of course) but they also have better privacy which is crazy. And they also allow you to use ad blockers. Sites you pay for would still show ads sometimes and don't even allow VPNs.

At that point there is no point on paying for streaming and if you wanted to support the creators you could do it separetely with merch, other proyects they have or direct donations if any of those are aviable.

Audible is literally the biggest pile of dogshit, completely barebones, yet somehow still immensely battery hungry pile of trash (jk I know it's because of all the telemetry shit they're using to profile my habits) with next to none of the basic QoL features you'd find on various free apps that would make listening on their app a more enjoyable experience.
