It just makes sense.

All I see is people putting on clown makeup when they try to defend paying for a profitable product they could otherwise get for free.

Mark Twain was right. It's easier to fool someone than to convince them they'd been fooled. This generation is full of proud idiots. It gives them a sense of belonging.

At least they're easy to take advantage of.

People are straight up slaves to consooming. They'll find any excuse to justify it even on a damn piract sub.

As someone of "this generation" you speak of, you hit the nail on the head and sent it home clean.

My generation has been brainwashed to the point that I'm not sure it can ever be fully undone.
