@kvasir8931 What is wrong with you ? You pay in order to support its existance. It's ok if you don't because you don't have the money (like young people do, or people from poor countries). But having this mentality of "why pay when you can get it free" is so stupid and damaging, it's the reason why we can't have nice things today on the Internet. I really hope that the normal, average person, the ones which also have some disposable income and at least half a brain, get to be normal for them to pay for things they are using and they like. Even if they can access it for free. You don't need triple digits IQ to realize that if almost nobody pays for something, that something will disappear. Or it will get twisted into a horrible disgusting hack of predatory tactics in order to get some money. Then it will disappear.

@Lernos1 If you don't pay them because you don't like them, that's ok, that's a valid reason. There can be arguments made both ways, but all in all, not supporting shady practices I guess it's one of them. In this case constantly trying to find alternatives and supporting those to grow and get market share should also be something you do. My response above was to the general mindset of "why pay something you can get for free?". That is, regardless of other reasons. And as if you can't get to know better.
