For all of the reasons everyone's saying here that the quality has gone. When the only revenue for an organisation is adverts and data it tends to head downhill pretty quickly. I actively borrow content from the internet but willingly cough up the money for things that i get good use out of. There's no way you can visit the pc gamer website without an ad blocker, so i pay a little bit quarterly and sit with a magazine instead. I also have box sets of tv series that I've never opened, i just bought them because I enjoyed the pirated version so much. I'll listen to music on Spotify or whatever but then go to the artist website and get some merch. There's a lot of content that deserves to be paid for and supported.

I've actually just renewed my subscription to PC Gamer, I read it on my tablet. A large part of that decision was to just help keep it alive because I feel it's important. Future Publishing can get fucked though.
PC Gamers' review was titled "Cyberjank" and the reviewer got slated for it by overhyped fanboys.
I think you're exactly right. It's the new generation of 'last in, first out'.
More people are leaving our streaming service! Quick let's make it worse for the people who stayed!
Really it's Wessex that's been done dirty here isn't it? A whole kingdom, to nothing.
Hyperintelligent eh? Well that definitely sounds like me, maybe you're right!
Ducking bunch of aunts.
I would have thought my judgement of the quality of the content I'm willing to pay for would have been implicit. For further context, for what it's worth, I'm a British guy in my late 40's who plays single player offline games. I don't use or follow anyone from twitch, discord, or YouTube, mostly due to a lack of both time and inclination.
