they've always been only money burners, because certifications are tight to specific technologies, that gradually are disappearing with the time (Think to all those MSCE Windows Server 2000, 2003 or old RedHat ones).

They are totally pointless nowadays.

I'm happy that they are having this problem, perhaps leading them to reduce their monthly fee instead of increasing it deliberately. It's annoying me that you should hold multiple accounts to watch "exclusives" on specific platforms, making it really expensive, especially for young people.

Sharing a password is (and should not be labelled as) a crime, because it is similar to sharing a bus ticket: if I can let my friends use it, why shouldn't I do it?

Stick with the 1. option. Look for open issues on GitHub/GitLab and start contributing with whatever you feel pleased of.

You'll gain new friends, find a mentor and learn new skills, even soft ones.

Tip: try with some Linux distribution (Manjaro, Ubuntu, etc.)
