If you are ok with the hassle, the risk and possible consequences, then do whatever you want.
But this is not a fix to the issue broadly, and just boycotting stuff will most likely not work as well, to change the situation.
The only effective way would be changes in law and government incentives. So instead start being politically active and push for these changes there.
hassle? what’s easier then search, click and play

Good question. Not OP. I think there’s a better chance of independent films being shared on free platforms than the government doing a better job at providing an equitable solution. I’m sure there are models out there that would apply to filmmaking that could replicate the success of say, Mark Normand releasing a special on YouTube instead of going with a paid app. Every actor, key grip, gopher, director, producer, etc. gets a percentage of advertising revenue forever. I’m sure there are flaws with that, but something like that.
The National Film Board of Canada pretty much only does 100% funding for animation and documentaries, but they do offer them all for free online. I don’t see any reason why they couldn’t extend that to regular features as long as they had the budget. The budget is the problem.

How is this rule 3? Did the way I worded that comment come off as rude?
