Totally get the social network stuff. But I'm curious how (or if) you consume media like movies and music if you don't use Netflix or Spotify? What did you mean there?
I pirate movies (via bittorrent) mainly because it’s easier than maintaining subscriptions with Netflix, HBO, Amazon Video, etc. I’m not against paying for movies, I’m just not interested in walled gardens. If movies were sold like bandcamp sells music, I’d gladly pay. I also hate running into buffering issues, disappearing content, and netflix’s atrocious UI. I just google what I want and download the movie in a few minutes.
I don’t use Spotify because of the same “walled garden” issue. I’ve bought plenty of music through bandcamp, and for free listening I use YouTube and various internet radio stations.
