I support creatives with direct donations. When you buy Netflix, you’re supporting extraordinarily wealthy capitalists.
If you actually care about supporting creatives, end all your subscriptions, pirate all your media, and give 100% of your previous subscription costs directly to the creatives you want to support.
How many times do we have to write this exact line?
“Piracy is not stealing, as the original remains in the hands of the owner. Piracy is simply making a copy and distributing it.”
It’'s not a morally correct act to be sure, however we really need to come up with a better terminology.
I do agree with your assessment of this particular twat though.
You have to keep saying it because it’s not true. I’ve known artists who have seen their work stolen. Until then I never truly understood the hurt it causes them. I watched a normally jovial friend spiral into anger and depression. Sure, pirating some garbage Marvel movie isn’t going to impact much. But you take that same mindset and scale it down, and now you are hurting real people.
See that’s just the thing, I pay for media that’s worthwhile, especially from the smaller folks out there. Marvel, disney, Blizzard etc. Can suck my left nut, their shit isnt worth the pixels they render it on.

What a twat. Imagine your personality being you don’t support creatives because you are addicted to stealing.
IIRC paying for streaming services rarely supports creatives beyond a fraction of a cent per play tho
