    I can bet that the most if not all find a way to pay for Netflix, or Spotify

      Or their games. Or their booze/drugs/cigarettes. Or their whatever they spend their money on without questioning the one providing the goods why they want to charge for it.

      Good on you! Now, let’s get that to become the norm for everyone else.

        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
