No.

I’ve pointed this out on another account on this very community through KBin Social.

And I was talking about how lazy and entitled pirates across all ages have become overtime. That we were losing more and more sources that had withstood a long standing of time. And one moment everyone is going “RAH RAH! HYDRA! CUT ONE DOWN AND MORE COME UP!” but when we lose some of which that have yet to return or take it’s place, the attitude grows weak. Almost desperate.

And it’s due in part how most of the pirates just take and take, but never give back. On r/piracy and sometimes on here, people are making posts wondering where they can get free stuff and how they can get free stuff. They don’t care about the technicalities, they don’t care about the cause of piracy, they don’t care at all. It’s always “give me free shit, thanks, bye”. There are few pirates out there doing the work and it’s just so that these lazy and entitled pirates can just take and take.

But when we lose sources, they scatter away like cockroaches and all that they can think about is asking where it is that they can get free shit. It’s almost like consumerism but for free shit, it’s annoyingly disturbing. It’s not about wanting the new product, it’s about wanting the source to mooch off from.

I sadly predict in time that the whole hydra ideology will just simply become the way the Pirate Bay has become, just a symbol, but will it mean anything? It’ll be so if this whole trend continues and all generations are just as guilty to doing it.

Sometimes yes, I just do the minimal required that shows I care. But I often times do not care because I don’t need the subtle reminder that their lives are going along better than mine. My life is in micromanagement hell, where I’m just biding time until I die pretty much. I barely enjoy things and whatnot. So if I were to fully celebrate milestones friends are celebrating to me it’d be like a knock against my own life.

So I don’t but I also don’t make it known to them out of respect. If they had to ask for the honest truth about how much I care, then it’s on them for asking because I’d give them that truth.

If you’re looking for hundreds of microcommunities, lots of activity by the hour from anyone or anything .etc then Lemmy is not going to do it for you. We’re a year in and Lemmy’s userbase is basically a piss of a squirt to Reddit’s volume. And that could get at you if you’re someone that just needs something to read or want some interactivity whereas Lemmy is just more of a stop and then go kind of approach.

Good on Discord. If these corporate cretins want pirates so bad, do the work themselves, not push others to do the dirty work.

Ads should never have to be a source of income for anybody, in the same vein that paying for tips having to be a source of income.

The problem are the fat-cats hoarding all of the money so they can piss it away by flaunting and throwing down those millions so that we can suffer ads at their expense. That is a problem.

Millions are spent on marketing, that’s not a secret. You should sit down and think sometime, where those millions could’ve been spent on than just shoving ads and ads down our damn throats.

And we need to hold the people who allowed the company to break ground to provide us those utilities that lead to allowing us to pirate.

And soon we’ll have to pass so many ridiculous laws to where we mind as well just go back to relying on oil lanterns and telegraphs.

Wow, not too long ago we lost AnimeSuge and now they’re already after HiAnime.

Hey, why don’t you fucking go tell Crunchyroll to get off it’s lazy ass and get shit available? It doesn’t have everything!

It has long stopped being useful for a long, long time. It is just but a symbol of piracy. It hasn’t even had it’s original creators for close to 10 years now? Maybe longer.

It’s discouraged because it has lost it’s place as the place to go to for pirated material. All you’ll find is nothing but people slipping in malware on things you want.
