I will grab the occasional file that really interests me, but lately since I've discovered sites like Flixer or streamvaults, I will just stream the shows and movies that I'm curious about but don't really feel the need to collect.

What about you?

i don't really pirate music any more, i get 90% of what i want to listen to from podcasts, internet/community radio and youtube mixes. trying to get in the habit buying stuff i really like from bandcamp to actually support artists.

my mate put me on his family spotify... so use that very rarely, mostly for nostalgia hits.

movies/tv 100% 🏴‍☠️

Recent years capitalism is really a big problem. Recession after inflation. After recession. After AI boom and more price increases. After shrinkflation.
