It’s kind of nice for us normies, to be fair.

Piracy is easier than ever now, you can have libreTorrent in Android, copy links there, download and enjoy the full copy. Netflix is evil consumerrights.wiki/w/Netflix

I’ll respectfully pass, I honestly have no issue financially supporting content that I enjoy.

You’re almost never financially supporting the actual creators. AFAIK very few contracts in film/TV nowadays have ongoing royalties that are paid out per stream or download of the media. The writers, actors, film crew, editors, etc are paid a flat rate that’s probably far less than what they deserve and the company itself gets the actual royalties. You’re better off pirating the media and then directly giving money to the people who made it happen.

I don’t really see how I’m better off doing this. It’s a lot of extra time I have to invest for each game, music track, and video I watch.

So you get all holier than thou about anti piracy and pro paying Netflix money under the guise of “financially supporting creators” yet dismiss any suggestion of how you can directly support creators as not worth your time and effort? Seems like you’re more interested in feeling like you’re supporting creators than going to the effort of actually doing so, but you do you I guess.
