I've never signed up to a music streaming service, I distrust them immensely, I don't like the idea of algos picking my music, especially not, if you like that, then you'll like this, I think it's recipe for making everything sound the same

I also don't like the amount they payout to artists. I'm no saint, I used to be on napster and limewire, but now having a decent paying job, I buy albums again from services like Bleep. As I like a lot of indie stuff, I think it's important they get a decent cut because I don't think many of them are selling in the millions.

I still don't feel much guilt pirating the odd movie, especially as it's no longer possible to sign up for a single provider, I now have to sign up for multiple services. And twenty bucks is too damn much for a single VOD

But the media I use most, mostly video games and music, I really don't mind paying.

You don't like how much they pay artists so you decided to pay nothing. Great logic.
