Says the guys that reduced piracy to a fraction of its former self before getting too greedy. Piracy wasn't affecting them, but it's a side effect of what they have become.
This is my stance too and what I try to do. I also tend to buy used where I can to save money, but I really like having the physical copy in back up.
I'm not sure if it's close to the same thing, but I use Max Richter's Sleep album. I did take out a couple of songs for my playlist I thought were too perky, but he worked with sleep scientist or what have you to make an album that induced and maintained sleep. His concert for it was literally a bunch of people sleeping. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0VMUYmhGI3Oqfb0V7X5R2EXoFkrJXOIj
That's what I'm watching right now too! I rewatch every year or two.
Exactly, there's no way the studios are going to let them sell actual ownership.
Not me. I set up my server last November and tried Plex. It reminded me too much of too many services starting to lose their way. Given recent events it looks like I was right. We use Kodi because my partner prefers it, but I really like Jellyfin myself. It was a learning process but really only took two or three hours with research time to set up. Costs me nothing and I don't have any ads, upselling, or any other BS that will eventually turn into more extreme attrition.
They've gotten great at this war of attrition. They know if they make changes incrementally people wouldn't accept all at once then most people won't notice or care. That's why I through that trash and two firesshits out in the garbage where they belonged when they started with "related" ads and app store ads.
There's a lot of good suggestions here, but I just wanted to add that I absolutely wouldn't rely on a random eBay seller's warranty in any way. I made that mistake early on in my journey. I came back to find my seller had deleted their account (probably to start another and skip out on warranties).
Ads in the feed now? Yikes, that's reason enough for me to switch before I'm forced to update it.
I can confirm the first 3 are working for me as well.
I mean to be fair they did invent fascism so this law isn't a stretch.
