Please, tell me how “paying for hardware costs is enough”…
You see people here running 5 years old phones with custom ROMs, 10 years laptops on minimalist distros
Pirating every show or movie they watch. I really don’t think the average Lemmy user is a frivolous spender
Once again you are using points on the extreme end of the distribution curve and trying to pass it as the median case.
Also: pirating is an act of moral rebellion, not of lack of means to afford the shitty product offered by the movie industry
Just taking into account the platform audience.
I wasn’t surprised by the Pixelfed Kickstarter success, as IG is much more popular than Reddit. Text based forums are a much smaller audience.
