    Bragging about how much of your service’s traffic is used for Piracy doesn’t sound like a smart tactic.

    Also,

    and I show you how to make billions with piracy

    The fuck? Wanna bet it’s some hare-brained NFT scheme?

      It’s probably something like “deliver a good product or service at a good price and everyone will buy it instead of pirate it”

      Hollywood like any other industry is just overwhelmingly greedy. Instead of getting a buck or two from everyone they want to get a hundred bucks from a portion of them…. While screwing basically everyone working on the project and funneling the proceeds into the hands of an extreme minority.

      The rent seeking from subscriptions that has all but swallowed whole all media is disgusting. Physical media will be gone soon and we will be left with shitty bitrate renting.

      It’s not even good for piracy because of the shitty bandwidth limits for users that pop up halfway through downloading something and make you wait until tomorrow or pay.
