Hmm. It helps that as an old guy, I can afford multiple streaming services, but, quite frankly, were it not for my wife, I would have none at this point. Beyond that, with few exceptions, there are few memorable items that make me reconsider ( or even bother to think of pirating it ).
To me it is just like gaming and it serves as a good example. Steam made it so easy, accessible and hassle-free that I accepted their online 'DRM' despite initially being staunchly against it. I have no reason to pirate. Just about ANY game I can think of is there. This is what the content owners need to create. They don't want to cuz they don't want to share, but to that I say, tough noodles.
I don't really want to go back to the old days, but oddly I clearly could if things got sufficiently annoying. The last time I wanted something that was locked behind another paywall was new Dexter. I ended up just skipping it ( I am not gonna subscribe to another subscription within Hulu ). I don't need it. I don't need any of it and this brings me to my main point.
It is a luxury item. It is entertainment. It is hardly a necessity.
