But theoretically, if someone set up an instance to host their videos, they could serve banner ads right? Wouldn’t that at least partly diminish the monetization problem?
That’s called an inconvenient truth. The fact of the matter is, if piracy was eradicated, concerts would be near empty and no one would know the music. Films that don’t leak don’t generally do as well unless you count blockbusters and even then, take Spider-Man, even if people pirate, fans will go and see it a few times. The problem isn’t the piracy, it’s that they can’t profit off of it directly.
Anyone that promises encrypted mail is a liar. Until the email consortium or whatever they’re called offer encryption as standard, all email is sent as plain text.
So I happen to know this admin and I have to say, stay away at all costs. They’re super nice and so once you’re in their sphere of influence, you’ll never be able to leave. You’ll be trapped in the quicksand of a really nice time 😭
Just in case I wasn’t clear. Gabe is a top admin. Check out the instance.
