I’ve tended not to directly pay for services, but password share with family where we each pay for a service. So I’ve had Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, and Amazon but only was paying for Netflix (obviously Netflix killed this). I also pay for Spotify, and have the unlimited regal pass (I live a few minutes from our local theater and go pretty often)

So given this, I feel zero remorse for pirating and data hoarding as much media as the internet can give me, as I feel like I’m already paying quite a bit for media.

I don’t know that this will get as huge as reddit was, but the number of comments I’ve seen here has doubled/tripled in the past few weeks, to the point where if Lemmy doesn’t ever grow much more than this, I think this is a sustainable mass of people right now to keep a good network effect going

As someone who has 4 screens at work and 3 at home, you’ve done a great job picking a truly unpopular opinion, as I had a gutteral negative reaction when I saw this.
