    Eh. Better than ads. At the end of the day streaming services, at least, are never going to be able to run on just donations.

        Would it be possible for everyone to switch to piracy? Could the current piracy infrastructure support that? I’ve never actually considered that. Video is heavy.

        Of course, if that’s where we’re going as a society we’re going to need a new way to fund productions. That’s not a bad thing, the artificial scarcity model we have is dumb. Maybe state-funded agencies like the BBC could massively expand.
