Reminds me of when people say “product” instead of “shampoo” or “conditioner” or whatever it is they’re actually putting in their hair. Capitalism-coded language.

Same here (USA). I haven’t updated my newpipe in a month at least, so it simply never broke. Not a big fan of these unverified headlines.

Literally if not for music piracy I wouldn’t have a massive vinyl library worth > $7,000, wouldn’t have gone to 100+ live shows, wouldn’t have paid $1000+ bucks for all the band merch I have, wouldn’t have evangelized countless bands to all of my friends and social network for decades. Piracy is absolutely the thing that unlocked that whole obsession for me.
