I hear you. I've had every playstation since the PS1. We even own a PS4 and PS4 Pro. Mythbusters was the beginning of the end for me. When they yanked Mythbusters without warning or recompense it drove home what I already knew: my digital library was only as good as the whims of Sony. I haven't made a purchase on their platform since.

And like you I also have Plus for a while, but I've noticed more offerings are starting to be PS5 only. And maybe it's bias informing my experience but I could swear they've already begun enshitifying the PS4 store the same way they degraded the PS3 store when the 4 came out. They removed some of the browsing options, like browsing by category.
