WTF are you talking about? Giving money directly to a couple creators or donating to some charity won’t get more content made. Whether I like the prices or not (I don’t), some of the money I pay to Netflix (for example) gets reinvested into making more shows. Paying money to a fucking thief does not get more shows made and never will. Nor will donating that money directly anywhere. Shows get made when the companies that make shows are making money. Not thieves.
