I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.
“Piracy is a service problem.”
“Unused RAM is wasted RAM.”
“Communism doesn’t work.”
Pretty much any pasty-faced white boy talking point is a load of malarkey.
Piracy IS most definitely a service problem. I bought the Scott Pilgrim game on Steam and had terrible performance and frequent crashes from Denuvo. I pirated the game and it runs completely fine now. You are often paying for a worse experience when you don’t pirate.
All true tho… But with some NUANCE:
-
Netflix and such made a REAL impact in visitors to torrent sites. But half the world doesn’t have 9.99$ to spend each month
-
If you really don’t use more as your browser, why pay premium for 20gb of ddr5?
-
Comunism is a fantastic idea. However it’s leaders are ALWAYS corrupt. Always.
- I used to agree with you, but then I came across Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso.
It’s the only example I know of where communists make an honest attempt to reduce the disparity in wealth rather than exacerbate it.
