I 100% agree and am in the same boat - I have many subscriptions and still use TPB at least weekly. I’m just not surprised when I hear that big corps are actively trying to dismantle TPB, nor do I think they are doing anything untoward in actively trying to protect their IP and profit from their media. I wish they would put that money and energy into making their products better and more accessible even when I am trying to pay for them, but that’s just my view. I try to give my money away to watch a number of Euro soccer leagues and nobody will take it. So I pirate all those streams.
