Sorry, I didn’t mean to make you upset. If we’re in the business of putting words in each other’s mouths, then I think we’re both doing a terrific job of that. I have never suggested that millionaires need more of my cash, much less have I suggested that corporations aren’t driven by profit. Both of these things can be true, while I can also—to the original context of this thread—acknowledge that loss-generating users are not in the position to demand more.

I’m not sure why you keep bringing sources of revenue into this conversation. If you want to pick a fight, it shouldn’t be with me or even with streaming services, but instead with the music industry as a whole where producers take the majority share of profits. My only point has been that your choice as a consumer is either finding an alternative that does better, accepting the changes in the terms of service or discontinuing use altogether. It seems that we can agree that the collective sentiment here on Lemmy to instead pirate content and effectively steal from content creators is not acceptable.
