Supporting small creators that contribute to the creative commons, or free software developers using the money saved! This is like, protesting proprietary stuff, while using the saved resources to support creators that respect our right to reuse/remix instead. I hope that makes sense lol
Yup. So true. I haven’t paid for films or series ever full stop (although I have used a streaming service my parents have paid for a few times), and the only times I’ve paid for games was when I’ve bought them from a second-hand reseller (and often sold them back to that reseller).
When it comes to donating however, after forgetting for so many months, I finally pulled the trigger on a donation to an Open Source project I use almost every day, qtile (Link: https://github.com/qtile/qtile )
