Prices are rising across Netflix, Spotify, and their peers, and more people are quietly returning to the oldest playbook of the internet: piracy. Is the golden age of streaming over?

    They’re going up again?

    I dropped all of those. I just have a couple services now.

    CBC Gem (mostly to support CanCon and local media), one streamer, and I migrated to Qobuz for music.

    I’m the spring I’ll go to yard sales for dvds/blu rays. They’re like a dollar there, which is reasonable.

    A ton of content I liked is now owned by fascists and Larry Ellison, so I don’t even want to buy new media anymore.
