It's for that reason I buy music from sites that give you a ZIP download of DRM free lossless files. Used to do it with eMusic in the '00s, now do it via Bandcamp.
For non indie artists I'll buy physical vinyl if it's a good enough record. Otherwise just rip the occasional song via NewPipe.
Same goes for books. DRM free Epub or physical copy.
I will say that I don't have this policy for videogames, but frankly it's only because I got tired of paying through the nose for a gaming PC. It's cheaper to just stream them via Stadia, esoecially since I don't go back to them like I would with music or books.
