That’s exactly what I do as a millenial/gen Y. The last time I purchased a full-price game was probably Dragon Age Origins.
Also there’s more than enough quality content that exists already. This week I’m still happy watching Dr who or Star Trek from the 80s and 90s, Alfred Hitchcock films from the 60s and playing pc games from the 90s. There’s more than enough for me to chew through and time does the job of sorting the classic material from the forgettable dross for me.
And these services are mad cause it’s so cheap for us to do that. Subscribe when the full seasons are out, binge watch what you want, leave.
They have no money, and they’re going to have to live with the result of choices made long ago by wealthy people who are dead now.
I wouldn’t be doing a damn thing if I was them, except maybe riot.
Good. Cancel your streaming services. All of them. Just pirate shit.
Surprised it’s not 100% the high seas like myself.
If I had to guess 90% of people these days can barely figure out how to torrent, at best they could figure out how to get to online streaming sites.
“these days”. Man I’m not sure there’s ever been an era where a significant portion of people understood how to torrent.
High quality
No ads
Unlimited
Am I supposed to be mad about this? The only jobs available to most of them basically constitute slavery.
these seems stressful and alot of work, might as well pirate it.
Funny way of saying “half of Gen Z are not falling for the typical consumer spend spend spend trap”. And as a millennial I say good for them. About time large chunks of people see the consumption driven economy game for what it is.
They simply can’t afford it, even if they wanted to.
I cannot upvote a paywalled source
yes, blurring the article if you don’t disable ad blocking is a paywall
Firefox’s Reader View works for me.
People will do just about anything but use Firefox. Whatever, I love Firefox + Ublock Origin. I cannot imagine being a chump and rawdogging the internet will all the ads and bullshit.
I haven’t seen an ad in 3 years, and I haven’t wanted to see one once in that timeframe.
Go ahead and check out what shows up on the Edge start page when you first launch it on a new profile/fresh Windows install. Pay close attention to specifically which shortcuts and news stories they present to you by default.
Noscript too!
They probably would do those things if they could afford to live comfortably and had a little extra disposable income but in today’s world every time you turn around someone is screwing you out of money. There isn’t anything left for fun stuff. Especially when the fun stuff company is doing some of the screwing lol
If they just care about one title, why don’t they buy just that title?
Why should they?
- Own physical media
- Swap and trade with others
- Profit
Jokes aside the first two for sure - but yeah, they could also just sail the high seas and it would be a similar outcome.
When you can buy a movie for $20 that’s not bad.
When you’re watching a season of a newish show, that’s often closer to $100. A tv show with 5 disks often likes to pretend it’s worth 5 movies. Also the latest content is often not available on disk until well after it’s “aired”
Pfft. I’m in my 40s with an established engineering career and a small home that I’ve owned for 18 years now.
I am also not paying for any streaming services I can avoid, not buying many games, sailing the high seas, and our cars are like 13/14 years old.
Because shit is crazy, especially being in the US. I am keeping my world small and focusing on my family and my community.
Arrrr matey
