Slightly older (2021) article I found while searching for this place. It pretty much says what we’ve all been saying.

Maybe people would be be less inclined to pirate if the economy wasn't so fucked up. Why would anyone spend money on entertainment when they could barely afford living expenses? (Other than the threat of lawsuits for copyright infringement)

@IsThisLemmyOpen @cccc plus the fact you need 5+ accounts on different platforms if you want to find everything you want. Even then, you won't find old movies I guess

And if you're interested in Movies that are not English, you're basically fucked.

This. Even if you have all the streaming services available, there still will be some obscure content that I watched years ago that is nowhere to been found.

where are you from? I'm from Italy and in 2023 people can only eat if you've two working family members and can barely feed children

The "richest" country in the world, even though the quality of life isn't really that rich for the average people.

(I'm talking about the United States of America, of course.)

and here I thought people were living a nice life over there. I heard plenty of people move from IT to US. Health system sucks tho, that's for sure

I mean, honestly, the US isn't that bad when you compare it to the entire world, it's only when you compare it amonst other developed countries, that you find it very low tier.

And companies don't do stupid things like half-assed video game ports or beta versions being released as final versions.
