They don’t have to say anything to let you know. Just watch and see the downvotes and maybe sometimes a reply that gives you the signs. That’s all you need to know.

Yeah because the GOP has been sooooooo pro-union in all of the times they’ve ever taken office.

Who can forget the time in the 2000s, when they took away or thought about taking away Overtime.

Who can forget the times when corporations actively worked against their workers and the GOP with every opportunity they’ve had, were dead quiet for those workers while simultaneously endorsing the actions of those businesses.

Who can forget the time when the GOP shot down the 9/11 Health Bill, basically saying “FUCK YOU” to Firefighters and every emergency personnel involved with that?

Some MAGGAT that’s going to use a recording of Trump being here to showcase how Trump “cares” about the lives of the military for campaigning.

It’s mainly because when everyone saw the “oh shiny” tech at first, they rushed it out as soon as possible with intent to replace people so that they can get away with doing less through AI.

Piss off with your entitlement.

So here we’re gonna just shovel out all of the cheap and selectively costly licenses on our services for you to watch. All so we can proclaim VaRiEtY.

Oh that show you remembered way back when? Fuck it, don’t know or don’t care! You’ll pay for what we selected for you and you’ll enjoy it.

Braindead streaming logic.

True but the guy was the one at fault and Proton had to comply. The French Activist was using ProtonMail e-mail for bad usages which is what it boiled down to. You left out the part where they complied with Swiss government yes but they didn’t with the French authorities.

Yet it still comes down to people’s own responsibility. But people love to throw that out the window and expect everything to protect them when they get up in shit.

The one and only critique I’ll give to Proton is how they have it where you can have Google e-mails forwarded to you to your Proton address.

And it’s like…why? The entire reason you’re going to ProtonMail is to escape Google. Why the hell would you want Google to try and pry into your Proton usage when all you want is to distance yourself from them?

That’s not a bad thing. Maybe some of us don’t want to be cluttered with a lot of things we don’t really care for on using. God forbid we go back to simpler days of communication whereas now we’ve got things like Discord trying to charge people to pay actual money to have fancy little animations for your profile picture.

Is that what you think is missing? Stupid pointless things that make you feel special because you paid money for it when the true attraction should be focused on how much communicating can be efficient and caring about your privacy and security?

Did you not see the score for my original comment? 43 unanswered downvotes. How can you sit there and tell me that there’s going to be an open and civil discussion that’ll come from with that? I’ve already had a few people throw the stone with their illogical commentary about what I’ve pictured with their frail attempts to defend their favorite browser.

And I got all of that, just from stating the original comment I said prior to the edit. But the ‘go to hell’ part was not the original comment.

So before more people jump down my neck about being civil, you ought to know what other people float about that go about antagonizing users or expecting negativity to come their way before they cry out to admins and mods, for something they gaslighted to!

…Do some research before you ever utter people’s names in a list again.

Bless the era of technology where Signal and ProtonMail exist.

We’ve lost some big ones this year alone, hadn’t we? I recall the early half of the year, that we lost some huge names or names that just shut down. Uloz flipped, still around but not what it once was. There was a lot of big names just gone all in this year alone.

But I see all of this as multi-pronged.

Aside from what everyone else has said. I will add that there could be people slipping into pirate ranks as a shill for these corps, gathering all that they can, slipping out to report.

There also could be loud-mouthed pirates, ruining it for everyone because they’re loud-mouths, gotta spread the shit all the way around. That gets the attention of the corps that just hover over and count the days at that point.

Yeah I mean, that will be really pulling the veil away from people’s eyes right?

So say that piracy is exterminated in a theoretical scenario, subscription prices now cost $20 - $25 per service just for standard. Tickets cost $19 per person. Rentals will cost $7. Copies still sold in retail stores and online hover $20 ~ $30.

Now, piracy is gone, we have all of these increased expenses. Who do they honestly expect are going to still want to be paying that much?

People will see all along that this is just simply an optional luxury to have, they can’t have it, they stop paying and take their money somewhere else.

And does anyone think the executives and MAFIAA will finally admit that they’ve been in the wrong all this time?

No, they’ll just suck eachother’s dicks while proclaiming that piracy still needed to go away.

Probably not even getting paid nearly as much except given a pizza under the door and a pat on the shoulder as some shitbag exec says sweet nothings into their ear. “Good job son, you’re doing the work for freedom, freedom from piracy”

Tell the assholes to keep it friendly themselves. I’m talking the fanboys. They who can’t handle differing opinions have no place in open discussion on any platform. Period.

I don’t torrent. I’ve got no patience for it and the climate to which to torrent in, isn’t nearly as rich as it once was in the 2000s. So it’s not worth my time.
