    this is a childish trope though, the content is created, if 1 person or 10 billions watch it it doesnt matter. Fairness is not a thing in the adult world.

      It does matter though - The price paid to the creator was based on the prospect of X number of sales or Y numbers of adverts. Almost everyone who presently is trying to get their creative works seen is hoping that being seen helps them to “make it” and be able to write or sing or whatever as a full time job.

        which nobody is preventing them to. a few people can sponsor that stuff for the rest.

          He who pays the piper calls the tune. Don’t complain that modern media is garbage that doesn’t cater to you while also saying middle class soccer moms can sponsor everything.

      Nonsense. It matters to the person who made it if they’re getting paid for it. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to watch it.

          That’s irrelevant. If everyone pirates the content, then that creator doesn’t get hired and paid again/anymore.

              So you’re entitled to do it just because everyone isn’t? What a crock of shit. What makes you special and exempt from what others have to do?

                  No one is talking about sustainability. The population is sustainable even though some people murder. That doesn’t make murder ok.
