You bet it's changed. Things are cheaper and instantly available now. When it comes to digital entertainment, there are only two things I'll pay for - videos and audiobooks; even then, I put a cap on what I'm willing to pay. Videos are strictly a subscription service like Netflix or Prime Videos and audiobooks top out at $1.99 each.
