If I didn't pirate it, I wouldn't watch it, so you're not losing anything in my case. Additionally, if your work is actual art rather than mediocre filler content I probably bought your merch, which I definitely wouldn't do if I was getting raped by a streaming service, so if anything odds are you're coming out ahead. Beyond that, if I'm pirating, people start conversations about TV shows I don't feel compelled to hijack them by talking about how all streaming platforms are bullshit, which I totally would do if I wasn't pirating.
