None. It's stupid to have to pay monthly for access to someone else's content collection when I used to be able to buy content for life and build my own collection, so now I either stream things for free on unofficial sites or download them via unofficial sources. I'll still buy CDs and DVDs occasionally but streaming is bullshit and I'm not playing along.
Most of my media consumption is gaming. I'll happily pay for games, but not for subscription based games, cloud based games, or game library subscriptions like Gamepass. I want to keep what I buy. This "you will own nothing and be happy" future is a dreadful one.
That's a good attitude, but I thought the same thing about filmora video editing software and that turned out bad.
