This is the take. And also, piracy is still support. Every creator who supports the free sharing of information recognizes that piracy is basically free word of mouth advertising.

I grew up with the books, but as I learned about Rowling's shittiness, I stopped consuming any Harry Potter content. Now the franchise is something I don't care about, don't even generally think about unless someone else brings it up. More of my time can go to those creators who deserve it.
