Technically technology I guess?

Same for me as well.

I recently got an HDMI splitter and usb-c capture card to start recording TV. HDMI splitter downgrades the HDCP of the firetv stick so the capture card can record it. You might be able do the same with an apple TV as well. Have it play a playlist of music while recording then split the recording into the separate songs and get rid of the video. This isn’t as nice as actually downloading the music but I’m not sure of an easier way using those services.

“Protect your privacy from us”

Would it even be cannibalism? I’m pretty sure all the billionaires are some form of reptiles.

And Plex is for self hosted content. Maybe it’s on the list because it’s not open source but I still wouldn’t put in the same group with Netflix Hulu and max.

Privacy.com is what I use. It lets you generate virtual cards to use so you don’t need to hand over your actual debit card. You can also set a maximum per day/month/transaction.

You don’t need root because this is its own app unlike the apps like revance which patch your existing YouTube app.

Not to mention cracked games let you avoid the company’s terrible launcher (looking at you uplay). Steaming pile of unnecessary garbage. I have cracked copies of a lot of the games I own for reasons like that, Pirated games just have a better offline experience in my opinion. Online games are another story.
