Can someone tell me the reason why these people don't want to leave Reddit? (lemmy.world)

Pirates want to stay on Reddit? This is the last group I had expected to have such a reaction, but here we are. Yes, the mod could have worded it better, but these people actually want to stick around on Reddit.

I personally find Lemmy to be a perfectly viable alternative to Reddit for such subs. I wonder about the reasons why these people still don't want to move.

Still can't believe people use uTorrent even though it became malware so long ago. Like come on guys, really? There are a ton of way better clients like qBit and Transmission, and they are just stuck in their own ways to their detriment.

I think the craziest part is those who know, so they stay on a "safe" version released in 2010..

Nothing like using a 13 year old piece of software despite there being way better up to date alternatives.

Okay, that's just crazy. I have been beginning to suspect people are a lot dumber than I originally thought, and this helps confirm that.

I have friends who still default to utorrent. Every time I see their desktops with utorrent in the taskbar, I let out an audible WTF and show them the light (qBittorrent).
