Why do so many people on this site hate paying for anything? You're not entitled to everything for free.
Everything should be pirated, never use any Google or Microsoft service, use an email server you've built yourself, only get your social media access through obscure Mastodon servers, write your code in assembly language, only eat food you've caught or grown yourself, avoid the rental market by just building a hut in the woods.
lmao easy enough way to live
You just described my retirement plans.
Because smart people don't pay for things they can get for free if they're already profitable.
Useful idiots do, and they're proud of it.
So if all the "useful idiots" became enlightened like yourself. Who would pay for journalism, movies, games, server farms, food, etc to be produced and function?
Products would still get made, there would just be less profit.
Don't worry, they won't. :)
Sounds like you have a great outlook on the world.
Thanks.
