    Lemmy users only want to use foss and not pay a single penny. How dare you suggest they pay a tiny amount to help pay for servers and the creators they’re watching!

      It feels like a culture war between corporations and the OG user base. They reeled us in and monopolized the market with the idea of “free”. Now that competitors are few and far between, they want to change the game and reel in literal billions. I have absolutely no sympathy for their “lost profits”. They are making enough as-is, and I have no problems saying that out loud.

      Lol you again being a cuck. Literally a perfect consumer. Give all your money away, and maybe I should give you a link to my PayPal since you’re such a philanthropist. Take your privilege and fuck off

        My privilege? You’re expecting servers to pay for themselves without ads or subscriptions. Idiot.

            How? Because I understand how the world works? How do you expect servers to get paid for? Genuine question. Ads or subscriptions are the only way.

            Continue to be a begging chooser.

              You’re gonna continue paying for shit that I will get for free, like it or not. People smarter than you and I have found solutions to this kind of greed for years and they’ll continue to do the same. So you can get on your high horse or you can shut your bitch ass up because we’re both getting the same content and I’m not paying shit. Again, shove your privilege up your ass because throwing money around doesn’t make you white-savior wannabe ass any more righteous than me

                White Saviour? Damn, I just realized you’re actually crazy.

                Have a good day. I’m not wasting my time on someone who has gone off the deep end hard.

                Get help.

                ✌️
