    Any time I see this “I don’t understand what the problem is” what I hear is “I’m incapable of putting myself in the minds of others”.

      TBF. we’re training the younger generations to accept it. They’re born and raised not owning anything.

          The older generations are definitely failing the younger generations, but what are parents going to do as individuals? Try to convince them that the only music they can afford on their shit jobs isn’t ok? My kids know how to sail the seas, but that’s not something I could expect every parent to do.

          We need the same kind of outrage AI is getting applied to record labels and media companies. We need a metric fuckton of anti-monopoly hurled at the remaining 4 big players.

            Wait until you find out the ai rage is coming from inside the ai companies themselves. They’ve got a whole creator thing happening right now in Berkeley for this exact thing.

            Yall are being played in every way.

              So, you’re saying the AI companies are trying to get people mad over datacenters?

              How’s that plan work?

        I recall, back in the day, seeing articles written for a younger millennial audience that treated the idea of not owning stuff as a kind of virtue. “Saves you from the hassle.”

          Yeah, I get that. I was full on piracy for decades, when netflix came, I just ended up pausing most of that. I naively thought that they had finally figured it out, and we could just pay for access. Would have been kinda nice not to have to manage risk on a bunch of disks.

          Then my 4-year-old was in the middle of Chuggington when netflix just dropped it outright.

          I then realized that convenience cuts both ways and if it was more convenient for them, I was going to get fucked.

          To this day, the fam watches netflix, but if someone is truely into something, It also comes down getting curated through the torrents.
