Music piracy is just so much harder than streaming.
Yup. With shows and movies it's the other way around. Netflix was already losing a lot of the third party content I liked and then they pulled the whole "have to live in the same house" thing. Instant cancel.
I do have Apple TV+ nowadays, but only because I have the Apple One package that gives you Music, TV+, Arcade and storage space for a bit more than any of the services separately. TV+ is also nearly all originals and there are a lot of good ones. They have much less content, but much better quality to garbage ratio. I've watched some shows 3 times over. Not a service I'd likely pay for separately, but the bundle deal is just an excellent value proposition for me.
Everything else I torrent. Indiscriminately. Hollywood blockbuster? Torrent. Estonian movie? If I missed it in the cinemas, torrent.
