Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster’s taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing.
The earliest desired media I can remember that drove me to figure out sailing was DC Talk, a Christian rock band. Pop music was not allowed in my house, so a Christian group was tantalizing and scandalous to a rebellious, young Vanth. Things escalated from there.
Shitty quality content/software/products. Now I pirate everything I need and if it’s good I pay to the developer.
I was watching a show on Amazon Prime and they added in unskippable ads. On top of that it kept on buffering on me.
Why would I subject myself to that? Why should anyone?
People do it for usability and convenience, for the 95% of people out there it’s easier to pay for a shitty quality service than finding the way to avoid em’, it’s just ignorance and incompetence. Trust me I make money from these people.
