  • I browsed reddit primarily with RIF for over 13 years, I made GDPR request for my data, and once I received it I edited all my comments to the copy pasta statement about reddit ruining itself, I then got summarily banned the day before RIF went 429. Made an account on lemmy.world. Feels like reddit during the Digg migration, I remember that exodus just as fondly.






  • It’s possible to do both, I consume plenty of pirated media simply because it’s unavailable due to pathetic capitalist imposed digital distribution limitations and lack of equitable paid access.

    I also consume other pirated media because I wouldn’t spend my resources for access because I don’t yet know the value of the content and won’t pay just for an opportunity to be disappointed, been there enough times to have learned that lesson. I’m happy to spend my time to find out your media sucks, but not my money, because that’s also my time with the addition that I’ve put actual effort into converting it into fungible assets.

    I also deliberately pirate media that I would pay for and do understand the value of, both because I can’t always afford to purchase said product from a company making billions of dollars in exploitative corporate profits and because I have no interest in caring about that over my own personal satisfaction in life.
