That's the idea I've got lately. I used to have Spotify through a community that's been taken down; NewPipe/PipePipe has problems 5 days every month. I found a great site to watch shows with good CC thanks to this community, and a few days ago half the servers weren't working anymore, and the ones that are still working are slow, like unusable.

Is it just all a big coincidence, or is trying to make people exhausted a tactic?

It's been a constantly evolving war for a long time. I used to be able to just copy files from one floppy to another and that's it. Then came some protection and we had to copy the whole disk nibble by nibble.

Any company being pirated will fight back eventually. You just have to keep up and deal with it. Or the alternative is paying money with no guarantee the service will hold up its end of the bargain anyway.
