It’s not even surprising anymore platforms do this & act all Pikachu face why piracy is spiking

Netflix & all these streaming platforms have completely lost touch & they will lose more customers in the long run

To quote Gabe Newell on Piracy

“We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.”

    Maybe if we put ads in and take away the ability to download content foe offline use?

      I’m not arguing it’s a good platform, it’s not. I’m just saying they never deceived anyone about the centralized nature of the platform. Let’s at least make good arguments as to why discord sucks without inventing false ones.
