I haven't paid for 90-95% of the content I consumed in the past 12 years. I've never spent a cent on it.(and I used to spend many hours watching new movies/shows every single day+Music+AAA games) Maybe try not hoarding all the half-decent movies on earth in 4K bluray version? at this point you have more data than a small piracy site...

Do you ever feel guilty that if everyone did what you did none of the content would exist? That you are stealing from all the hard working artists and tradespeople that made the content you love?

  Do you ever feel guilty the money you give them for entertainment could be going to a hungry mother? I don't lose sleep over the blockbuster superhero movie that is geared towards the Chinese market changing because something I did. If I had that power I would shut it down and not spend 100 million.

  If I lift food out of the bin at a michelin star restaurant am I stealing from all the hard working chefs and waiters that made the food? nope. If every one I know joined me in eating from the bin would the michelin star restaurant go out of business? nope.

  No. For multiple reasons. First of all when you have a negative net worth you don't care about the royalties of some hollywood rockstars. 2nd of all, I'm not ready to pay 10 different monthly subscriptions while not even being able to watch 100% of what I want. 3rd of all, even though I appreciate the content, I don't necessarily approve the actions of the artist/producer/developer. I don't want to give a cent to a company that ask its underpaid workers for 100 hour work week during crunch time. I don't want to fund a rapist/abuser producer, I don't to fund anyone's yacht or Ferrari. Even though I absolutely love his movies, I don't want to fund a guy like tarantino who willingly endangered someones life for one scene. I mostly consume mainstream stuff so most of the money I'd spent would go to people who already are 1000x richer than me. I don't really enjoy indie games/movies/music, if I were, maybe I'd act differently.
