It’s the same age-old piracy problem that Spotify, Netflix, Apple Music, Disney+, etc have mostly solved. Make a product worth paying for and more convenient than piracy and people will pay a reasonable price for it. Shove ads down peoples throats and play games with hard-to-cancel subscriptions / BS pricing and people will correctly value your product near worthless and act accordingly. It’s up to you as a company to prove your value to users. Throwing up a paywall that is easy to defeat protecting content that isn’t worth much in the first place and is riddled with ads is a great way of telling consumers that they shouldn’t trust you.
