I really don’t mind trading my money for value I receive. It doesn’t offend me.
As someone who has run businesses himself, I like being part of an economy where I can buy and sell things.
I don’t resent other people pirating stuff, and I don’t resent free services. I don’t mind donation-supported services. And I don’t mind paid services.
I guess it’s just who I am. I don’t really mind any kind of consensual economic arrangement people choose to form. Economic cooperation is economic cooperation.
I think it’s more of a “give a mouse a cookie” problem. Paying for software i use had never been an issue for me unless the fee is insane eg Photoshop or something of the sorts. Subscriptions are fine as well but we all know the price will go up and the feature load won’t or it might actually get worse. It’s not just as simple as i use it therefore i pay for it.

I don’t mind paying, but since I’ve set up jellyfin and the arr stack I’m getting a better service than anything you can actually buy.
I don’t want to flick between a dozen apps to see which sliver of content they’ve allowed me to view.
