I’m working on this, the subscription model has gotten so expensive now that literally everything uses it. Do you have any tips besides “just pirate everything”?
This is what I’m resorting to. Instead of pirating Lightroom, I’m using RawTherapee for my (non-professional) photo editing of my x100t photos. In the old days, I’d have done it (I still have a very old version of LR exe in one of my hard drives) but today I’d rather not have a ton of keygens and crap on my laptop.
I’ve wanted an EV for years, but I’m sticking with my very old and fuel-efficient ICE car until it’s absolutely dead. At that point, I’m hoping that some model of EV emerges as the most hackable one, like the Nissan Leaf. I’ll buy a very used one of those & hack it.

Just pirate some of the things?
Unfortunately the only alternative for some things are becoming very tech literate and running an objectively worse mediocre open source software

Depends on the media, buy from bandcamp, steam
Bandcamp is the move.
Use free or at least alternatives without a subscription model where possible
For cars? Just buy one that’s a bit older
Movies etc? Pirate

The best thing that you can do for the world is but less shit that you don’t need.
