you’d be one of few. Most people don’t mind compensating others for services, but when services turn to extortion and lock-in with sub-par digital content players piracy becomes a lot more attractive. Not many can afford 4-5 subscriptions (with Prime you need sun-subscriptions too) and all of it’s expense and complexity. Singular aggregate platform with a cost equaling today’s single subscription cost would probably eliminate good chunk of “piracy”. We can only watch so much in a day so given that streaming companies price things out and provision for that there’s no more impact on them if multi-service subscription costs the same as a single-service and it will reduce need for piracy, as it’s also a hassle to look for content and get all twitchy whether you going to get trojaned or swatted for doing so.
“afford fewer and fewer things” needs correction: most “things” are being turned into “services” so people end up owning nothing and being forced to overpay for “service” they never asked for
