Are they shootimg themselves in the foot if they're making record profits?

I understand that, but it can't actually be literally true. Wherever you live, even if it's the literal belly button of the world, you won't notice what all people that pass through your town or live in your town have in common until you go outside and see what living without that thing you have in common is like. And thanks to that, you'll get a deeper appreciation of what makes your town your home.

It's not like tech: once you see a new technology at the store you won't want to go back to your own crappy technology at home. It's more like reading a book in the same genre, it will only make you appreciate what you love about your favourite more.

You don't have to go far to have a nice trip somewhere. You could literally go on foot. Yeah some people do it just for the 'gram, but actually, meeting new different cultures always is a very enriching experience. Putting yourself into unusual situations is a very enriching experience. Don't miss out on this pleasure in life.

I mean, it IS their own game. Let's not be disingenuous, they would be doing the same even if it was Steam data.

I think this is a too much pessimistic point of view. People with difficulties will be people with difficulties, but the fact is that the boomers actually are a little incompetent at it, simply hecause they had to deal with many more pressing things. They wouldn't be stupid to learn as much as your average person wouldn't be, they're just understandably lazy. I too am lazy, so I'll never cook as well as my grandma.

Look, I agree, but let's not kid ourselves on our experience not being shitty too 🤣. We're capable of using it only because we're really good at computers, but there are literally millions of people who don't even know or care about knowing how to change desktop background

Don't apologize, your answer was the most informative

Yes but you didn't create the torrent first

I think that's the whole point. But before, it was all just a simple Google search away, no SEO in sight. Being capable of surfing the web properly already was at the time THE test to get in, much like private forums often have some kind of interviewing process. It felt a little more nerdy, and well organized, as you actually had to be both things to contribute. As it always was.

In my country it is illegal to share, but not illegal to download, since when consuming you're not meant as a websurfer to know the source of that something. Should that law change, it cannot retroactively affect something that happened in the past. So I don't plan ever to share anything publicly, but only the very few things I'm very passionate about to the point I want to share them with communities of friends which you can access through invites only. Sharing a back up copy with your friends is not illegal either even if the EULA or whatever says it is, unlike for example in the UK.

I was specifically asking about cybersecurity in general.

I like private trackers but require a level of commitment I can't really afford yet. The electricity bill etc. would skyrocket
