As I’ve made more money in life, I pirate the same amount of stuff, basically (besides games). But I also spend a shitload of money on the stuff I like. Instead of paying Netflix or Spotify, I buy DVD/BD box sets, collector’s editions, vinyl, bandcamp my favorite albums, and way too many concert tickets. Avoid the middleman and support the creator.

They recently added support for that, i believe. (Edit- starting off where you left it)

What’s the average socioeconomic status of your friend group? Most people have tablets now because they can “get them free” from the phone company.

I don’t even think most people own a PC at this point, just tablets and phones.

99% of the general public will not pirate anything because they lack the ability to do so. Of the 1% left, 99% of them use public trackers with variable results regarding quality and shady website shenanigans. The most common form of piracy going forward will probably be like those hacked fire sticks that would stream pirated content, because it’s easy and low barrier, like the hacked cable box cards/chips from the 90s.
