I have zero issues with piracy and have a gigantic media server full of pirated content but I don’t see how you square “company being hostile to artists and revenue sharing” with “I better pirate this music instead”
I subscribe to Spotify because it’s convenient as fuck and has 99.9% of the music I want to listen to (and podcasts). Pirating music is a huge pain in the ass these days even with stuff like lidarr and private trackers.
