With streamers like Disney Plus, Hulu, and Max growing increasingly expensive, subscribers need to think about what they really want and need from these services.

    I know it sounds naive but honestly I just wish I could consume media and when I like it I can just send them some money without any hassle.

    Perhaps a monthly preset amount that is spread out over my consumption.

    I know the pirate bay guys did something like that where you have a centralized subscription and can like blog posts and the like.

    However I’d prefer something like crypto, but also convenient and controlled by a Foss program running on my own hardware.

    Dreams am I right.

      Minus the crypto (save for big maybe monero), I completely agree. I just don’t want to primarily support the middle men and would rather support the creators. I don’t mind giving them some money to distribute the media, but not even close to the lion’s share they get now.
