    Yes me too, I find myself watching movies less and less.

    I find myself buying real books, ebooks online and buying vinyls.

    I still stream music though, but the thing is, most music that could be found on Spotify, could be found on Apple Music or Deezer.

      As it should be. Compete witg additional features not with exclusivity.

      Epic tries to do the same with Steam trying to strongarm the gaming community with free games.
      And yet the users will still pay on Steam.

      That’s odd. I find myself unable to keep up with all the movies I want to see. You should check out the Criterion collection.
