      Basically yes, Like Netflix, just without Netflix increasing subscription prices every one to two years while removing content I like. And being a for-profit company that makes me pay more and creators earn less. I mean I can afford $30 a month if it gives me all the TV series I like, movies and audiobooks and all the music out there. For all I care it could bill me per view if that gets close to that amount of money… I’m not opposed to paying in the first place… It’s just that too much content has become unavailable on Netflix. And I like Spotify, but they’re paying artists next to nothing. I don’t see any benefit there, If they’re ripping off the artists anyways… Why not do it myself, cut out the middle-man and save the bucks?

      And all of the services make everything difficult to use, Netflix crapped out after I connected via another internet connection, Disney doesn’t work on my old TV. And Star Trek isn’t available on either of them. All the data-collecting and DRM shit on top that doesn’t allow me to watch full-HD on Linux… Yeah and I want to use a Kodi-Box, not a Fire-TV-Stick.
