Yeah I feel that a vast majority of them would just install the Official™ Reddit app and live with the crap. We'll see though.

Yeah I use adblock.
If you use adblock, you don't care about creator's point blank
Depending on what kind of content they serve, they usually still make a lot of money.
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).
I don't remember the last time I went to r/piracy except to check the megathread. Most of the content I came across there are low effort memes and low effort discussions but I had to check it recently to see pics of sexy pirates then I saw all the drama.
I'm absolutely disgusted by subs whose essence supposedley is anti-corpo yet aren't planning to moving to another platform because they love Reddit so much! Of course, some mods in r/piracy actually made the effort to get people elsewhere but a lot of the users turned out to be corporate bootlickers.
I hope the users get charged a monthly subscription to access Reddit so they could come here to ask for modded Reddit apps.
Anyway, I don't really care what happens to r/piracy. There's a copy of the megathread here and if I need help, then I'm sure the users here are much more knowledgeable.
Mouse and keyboard. I have never owned a controller my entire life.
The last feature I liked from Discord was screensharing. Everything else since has been useless or outright terrible.
I found out about it years ago (before the pandemic) at r/privacytoolsio or r/privacy or something.
I dual boot Windows and Arch but most of my time spent is on Arch. It's probably been a month since I last touched Windows.

Interesting. I just searched some topics related to a paper I'm working on and found some good resources which I haven't seen on Google yet. Really interesting.
You might want to start scouring for DDLs and start seeding it yourself though you could also just wait. I've had torrents sit on 0 seeders for months before someone started seeding again.
