You’re technicall still using the company’s resources (it costs some energy to run the empty train), so I still don’t think it really compares to piracy.
But since they are miniscule compared to what they are wasting by running largley empty trains I think it’s morally ok in that case.
Get a physical copy that doesn’t require internet activation then, assholes.
Just a little bit closer, you’re almost getting the point!
In that case you’re actually using a limited resource: space on a train. And by occupying it you’re preventing someone else from using it (assuming a full train). Copying media doesn’t cost any resources (ignoring the tiny amounts of electricity) or interfere with anyone else’s ability to use that resource.
They don’t compare.
Yes I did but it’s irrelvant. Yes, the channel should be removed.
But your conclusion that youtube must be “refusung” to delete these channels or is profiting of them is ridiculous. The much less dumb explaination is that it’s a simple moderation oversight, which can happen on a platform that gets over 3 million new video uploads a day …
The profit from this single 28k view videos surely must be massive! It’s clear that youtube is totally complicite and not because it’s some minor fringe issue that flies under the radar.
I don’t think watching a couple of five second skippable ads every now and again counts as bootlicking
Agree. However suggesting to others that this is ok, definitly is.
Youtube sucked a lot less before this cancerous tiktok clone format was introduced.
Watching in Firefox on the same connection gives me normal expected quality.
So use firefox? Add an adblocker and that’s also dealt with.
This just sounds like a PEBCAK error.
The biggest risk is when you upload content, which makes torrenting dangerous. But using a VPN is really enough.
For things like pirate streaming sites or DDL sites, a VPN is definitly recommended, but I used those for years without one and nothing ever happened.
I obviously don’t condone pirate
It’s fine if you do, this is a piracy community.
That would be incredibly spammy. Sure, as an default-off option, but I just can’t imagine how that would be useful. Votes are overrated anyway.
it’s the extra space meant for a side loading ramp.
Oh, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks.
Wtf kind of markings are those even?
Most of them will just put up a soft-paywall, which are rather easy to get around. Sometimes as easy as clearing your cookies (or using an incognito tab).
I just use plexamp and stream from my own music library at home. Fuck subscriptions.
All
Nord VPNads are.

Wait, why would you buy that? Do you not have a phone?
Timezones. Programmers hate them.
A perfect example for why having an adblocker is a necessity these days.
