      If you are ok with the hassle, the risk and possible consequences, then do whatever you want.

      But this is not a fix to the issue broadly, and just boycotting stuff will most likely not work as well, to change the situation.

      The only effective way would be changes in law and government incentives. So instead start being politically active and push for these changes there.

      I’m with you my Plex Library is growing alot lately. I’m not paying for 10 different streaming services. I limit myself to one and anything else not on it is getting downloaded. At lot of the movies I have I have also paid to see in theaters. Some even more than once like across the spider verse and the barbie movie .

      On a macro scale, they’ll stop making those movies if they aren’t financially viable. Cheap lowest common denominator shit will be all we get.

      I mean the streaming services will keep increasing their prices and actors / staff will see less profit as a result of lack of active users…
