If buying is not owning, pirating is not stealing.

Transactions are public. But wallet ownership is not.

That's why it's widely used in cybercrime. You can make a wallet and authorities may know which wallet receibe the money, but it may be imposible to link that wallet with an actual person.

It should be just a browser option.

You set cookies on or off, ans the browser sends the option in the headers. Websites just need to take the option from the header instead of a banner.

It's like no longer having one cheap and convinient way of seeing content makes people rather pirate things than paying 7 different platforms each one more expensive than the next and all of them trying to mess with you and your wallet in new and unexpected ways.

I can't wait to have to download a crack for my browser so a website thinks that my browser is using wei and no-adblock.

I don't know who expected the fediverse to be the most secure and private network of the world.

It's a "independent" and open source social media platform. A better place to be than corporate social media. That's it.

There's footage of random censored circles appearing over the best ones, like the guillotine. Before the end every reference will be erased. U/Spez is a Muak count wannabe.

I don't have the money to sustain the "everything is a subscription" simple as that. So adblockers and piracy is the only way to get media content.

I still go to the cinema, but some cinemas over here are already experimenting with subscriptions.

They should be charged for trying to attack a service using malicious practices. People only learn when their actions have consequences.

I remember when everything was recorded and edited videos, from short to long, maybe 5 minutes to 1 hour, but it was rare seeing longer videos. Most videos where edited, cutting off boring parts, and videos seemed centred on the content. Also facecams, while still gaining popularity, were not omnipresent.

Nowadays I find it hard to find videos that are not just reuploaded streams. Hours and hours of unedited video. Most of the time seems that the streamer really do nothing, they vaguely read comments, talk about their life and sometimes play a game or something, but the unedited nature of it make it really boring for my taste, there are lots of long dead times where nothing really happens. Also there are constant interruptions, visual and audio noise, the whole every time someone suscribe or paid something noisy has to happen for everyone to see. That takes the quality of the content down. And of course half the screen is covered by face cam, chat, subscriber count, donation objetives, etc. And the streams are always hours and hours and hours, the content is so diluted in long periods of time, it's unrespectful with out time.

I just don't see how this format has taken over the internet, it's worse than what we had. I see how it's more profitable for the creators, more hours of content for less effort, but I don't get how viewers prefer that format over a well curated and edited video.

Just a rant. Maybe someday someone searches "why everything is a stream nowadays" and sees that they are not alone, I hate streams too.
