Literally the mentality.
Everything has to be a subscription.

git is my backup

Git is just a folder

Pretty much where I am at.
Piracy is a service issue, I think Steam proves that.
If that service isn’t viable any longer, time to move on

I seem to remember a lot of arguments when Netflix first introduced a cheaper-with-ads subscription that “not everyone can afford ad-free subscriptions” and that somehow it would make things better.

Ignoring the fact that the play was obviously to get the ad-subscription up to the current cost of ad-free subscription.

And now I think it’s Disney introducing ads to all subscriptions.
So, no doubt Netflix will do that soon in order to “innovate” the line-go-up.
