Why do steaming services think they have a captive audience and I'm not going to ditch all of them with the crazy influx of annoying ads? (lemmy.world)

The "you wouldn't steal a car" thing actually backfired majorly for the parties involved. It actually did two things. It highlighted that downloading movies was possible and easy to do when it was new and not many people knew about it. And it made people curious. This led to it having the exact opposite effect of what was intended.
