Yup. So true. I haven't paid for films or series ever full stop (although I have used a streaming service my parents have paid for a few times), and the only times I've paid for games was when I've bought them from a second-hand reseller (and often sold them back to that reseller).
When it comes to donating however, after forgetting for so many months, I finally pulled the trigger on a donation to an Open Source project I use almost every day, qtile (Link: https://github.com/qtile/qtile )
