Which is a shame, I should add, because I want to pay for the culture I consume, but vendors, copyright, and publishers try their best to make that process as wonky as possible.

I sometimes find myself buying a book and then downloading a pirated version through Libgen. It's ridiculous.

Oh I do the opposite too. Possibly more regularly.

I'm very comfortable with pirating, but if I actually end up benefitting/consuming the product I try to find a way to pay for it.
