I’m working on this, the subscription model has gotten so expensive now that literally everything uses it. Do you have any tips besides “just pirate everything”?
you know, I (supposedly - you cant prove anything, mr. prosecutor) may have done this as a kid. then I hopped hardcore on to the FLOSS bandwagon and never looked back. everything I need I can find as a FLOSS package (firmware often excluded, of course). all the learning that I (supposedly) did through the “hack” as a kid now goes into writing original code and supporting open source software. FLOSS literally (may have) made an honest man out of me :-)
This is what I’m resorting to. Instead of pirating Lightroom, I’m using RawTherapee for my (non-professional) photo editing of my x100t photos. In the old days, I’d have done it (I still have a very old version of LR exe in one of my hard drives) but today I’d rather not have a ton of keygens and crap on my laptop.

Just pirate some of the things?

Depends on the media, buy from bandcamp, steam
Bandcamp is the move.
Unfortunately the only alternative for some things are becoming very tech literate and running an objectively worse mediocre open source software
