I literally send authors the average cost of money for their book to their patreon with notes telling them I would've paid their publisher if I could've gotten a DRM-free .epub after enjoying the copy I got on zlib.

I often consider the scenario.

What would I do if Google straight sniped and headshot every single method of piracy, even embedding the ads into the video?

"He'll pay now!*

Nah, never. People are more momentary, at least I am. I don't care if I'm being entertained by "X". If "X" isn't worth the trouble, there's "Y". The days of everyone even caring to digest the same media as anyone else is over unless your main drugs are pop music, Asmongold reacting to politics and influencers.

They can still post on YouTube.

It might take a tiny bit of their revenue away but I doubt it would make much of a dent, especially for creators that run mostly on patreon anyway.

We can't complain about everything, here, considering the circumstances.

99% of people aren't there, it's a sunny afternoon on a mountain road.

"Fuck cars" is an easy statement to make in NYC.

"Fuck cars" isn't a very serious statement to make in the middle of Oklahoma.

We all know why, which is why this is a joke sub. You can't have zero cars. The world outside of Queens isn't an endless sea of more buildings and bus stops, I'm sorry. Read a map.
