Slightly older (2021) article I found while searching for this place. It pretty much says what we’ve all been saying.

    The streaming industry had a couple of benefits, being convenience for an acceptable price. Corporate greed pushed these streaming services to lower convenience and increase the price and they expected people to just eat it. I don’t mind paying for good products that I regularly use, but the price has to be acceptable. This doesn’t however justify piracy, but it is one possible way forward.

      Yeah once plex/sonarr/radarr came along and pirating became both cheaper and more convenient they lost my money.
