The only software I have paid for in the last couple of years are games. The licensing is still crooked but they are ephemeral entertainment so its not like they control your life.

The problem with commercial software isn't the price. It is the lock in. They have you by the balls whether you pirate or pay so I don't pirate as it doesn't address my main issue with closed source software which ismt price but control. I prefer to adapt, sometimes live with less features and use free and open source.

Its hard if you have to work with others which is the whole network effect BS, everyone is on Reddit and shitter so why aren't you. If you can work independently though you can get a lot done and have more control.
