the whole point is to stop you from owning physical media so they can arbitrarily raise prices by creating artificial cause and demand through artificial scarcity.
anyone remember when the argument for digital goods was " We wont have to waste money on boxes, printing, media, storage, or shipping! So your goods will be cheaper than ever, and everyone will still get a more profitable cut!"
Pepperidge farm Remembers, because Pepperidge farm called bullshit on the argument back at the very start, and said they would get rid of physical media, not lower prices, and that we would lose ownership of our purchases... and the internet poopoo'd me to hell in back calling me paranoid and stupid for it.
and look where we are.
and its so goddamn fucked up I don't even get a single molecule of serotonin from being right about it.
The internet is chock full of idiots who piss all over Cassandra

Not sure if joking, but just in case:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassandra
I would not in a thousand years have guessed greek mythology reference, lol
Now you know: you (and I) have the Curse of Cassandra
It fits.
Considering thats how its been my whole life.
Someone in my family once got severe burns on their hands cause i told them a pot was hot (It had been sitting on a grill, not like..a turned off stove where it had time to cool), to not touch it, and they rolled their eyes at me and said "what do you know" and picked it up.. And yet it was my fault their hands were in bandages afterwards.
