For about 18 months there was a golden age where it was easier to pay for things than to pirate. Now we’re in a situation where it’s even &amp;#x2F;harder&amp;#x2F; than it’s ever been.&lt;p&gt;People will pay for media if it’s easy and a good experience. The barrier to piracy is non-existent these days and you actually get a far better experience.</text></comment>

I really hate what HBO did here. I was very much liking the HBO Max era, and very much unimpressed with all of what’s happening now.</text></comment>
