You forgot the dreaded tumblrinas and tumblrites. Tumblr was once the dread nesting grounds of the proto-karen.

But for real though this would've been fire as a game for older kids.

Same though. Which is now why I get called a hoarder.

You are using a lockpicking YouTube reference. It can be opened with a lockpicking YouTube reference. smashes lock open throws lock into the void

Why not just get a couple paperclips, and... click on one... nothing on two... three is binding...

Then go to Aether. Nobody's forcing you to stay here.

😢😭 rest in cat heaven, little king.

Is anyone surprised?

W-what happened?

Is anyone surprised?

I thought we had a lot more financial crises than that.

Solution: enlist in the military! /s

Against it by "using" it in a manner which deprived the company of revenue - such as watching videos with an adblocker.

This, in their mind, counts as "shit that matters".

Same problem here.

As the social media juggernauts, these companies are viewed as the embodiment of everything they see as wrong with a capitalist/corporatist society, and in their mind, by dismantling or fundamentally changing and challenging these juggernauts, they can inspire and bring about the change they want in society as a whole.

No, I'm just pointing out the community you're talking about. This is a piracy community, on Lemmy. If you're surprised that this specific community is hostile to your arguments, I'm not sure what you were expecting.

Addressing the main point of your argument, the idea of the FOSS movement which many people in this community espouse is to have effectively a volunteer and donation-based society, just like Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse. Peertube comes to mind as a specific example. For a significant portion of that population, communism and socialism are also not considered bad things. For others, the crux of their complaint is not against the monetization of content, but the degree to which said monetization interrupts their viewing experience - 30 second ads on a 10 second video, for instance, or multiple 10 second ads interspersed at 30 second intervals throughout a 2 minute video, with the lion's share of the revenue going to YouTube and not directly to the creators - hence the creation of platforms such as Bitchute, Nebula and CuriosityStream.

And what specifically is wrong with being paid a fair wage on time for work and effort matching the job description exactly?

gestures around I'm not sure if you know this, but you're on Lemmy, not Reddit or Gab.

I've been using it for over a decade
