  • Even if they don't stick around they probably know that the days of reddit allowing stuff like piracy and rom resources is coming to a close, so even them just seeing lemmy as a fallback plan to keep in mind is a positive move in the long run.

  • Yeah, cost of an extra $120 a year to try and get more media out of a legit and already expensive monthly subscription is the point where I'd just scrap it all for a cheaper VPN for pirating. Point of paying for Netflix or Hulu for me would be to not have to do that stuff.

  • Also, complaining about not having time but wasting their time talking to strangers online. I could understand the perspective from someone who doesn't pirate, but to a pirate it is pretty hilarious seeing them making it out as this incredibly difficult time consuming thing like infomercials do.

  • What are you pirating that makes it so hard? I don't bother with software or programs so it's just pretty much looking at what's newly released and torrenting it.

    Why even pirate if it's that much of a pain? Pretty much same logic to me a someone who complains about how confusing pc gaming is. I'd point to the consoles.

  • Really? I could understand that point from someone not in the piracy community, but doesn't seem any more time consuming than posting on lemmy. Not really starved for time if someone is spending their time on social media.

    Mind you I don't pirate software or games, so maybe that's why. Pretty much hardest has been waiting for download to finish.

  • The hunt is part of the fun. Like how people will opt to build a PC or a keyboard over a pre-built or pull out vinyl over digital. The steps taken to retrieve and enjoy the media is sometimes a relaxing process.

  • Biggest evidence of that is Epic will give away games for free, but there will be people who prefer to pay for the Steam version over the free version.

    That's the biggest evidence that piracy is a problem of distribution and goes against the idea that those who pirates are against paying for a product.

  • Decentralization has always been the way for piracy, since many places inevitably go down throughout the years but it being spread out is what keeps everything from being taken down by a single closure. So while not convenient it makes it more resilient.
