Not really. Information is more valuable then ever. I would rather pay 10 dollars for Netflix then torrent. But guess why I do not pay 10 dollars for Netflix ? Because Netflix is shit for me. Since I do not live in the US. The hassle of going to a torrent site and deal with porn ads is cheaper and better then streaming from Netflix. Since 10 dollar is 45 minutes of working as a programmer - I spend less then 10 minutes a month having to deal with porn ads. Its basic economics. Unless it takes me 45 minutes of porn ad watching I am not going to switch to Netflix - as simple as that. And guess why I get paid 10 dollars ? Due to the broken immigration Laws which gives employers an upper hand as I get deported as soon as I lose my job. Some of the basic needs of life - housing,food - costs me 1/4 of my salary. And I am at the upper end of the scale - most of my peers are working in coffee shops in shitty service jobs. Unless this basic calculus change - good luck monetizing selling articles on the web. -- from a frustrated millennial --
