Just so you know (and stop using that phrase), there is no way scientifically or otherwise, to attribute the effect of non-sales to a feature, a service or anything else.
Your opinion on the matter just never shows up during product decisions, planning or analysis.
Your "vote" just doesn't exist.
So because there is no way of "scientifically or otherwise, to attribute the effect of non-sales to a feature, a service or anything else", I'm supposed to buy content on one platform and then download it on another, just so I can actually watch what I purchased?
Maybe the terminology is wrong, but I don't find the concept of "don't pay for what you cannot/won't use" wrong.
How are the producers reimbursed in your example?
"Voting with your wallet" means reimbursing producers who can provide content in the way I prefer.
That would give the distribution platform the idea that what they are doing is OK. In this case, just download it and don't pay for it, if they are not actually providing you of any service. Vote with your wallet.
