Farmers, where can I pirate high quality golden eggs?

If I’m understanding the intent correctly, it sounds like you want to rip off artists for profit. I’m on board with piracy but this is stepping a bit too far out of the moral gray area for me…

Do these things “just work” like the R4 for the Nintendo DS? I know that’s old as hell but it was the last console/handheld I’ve owned lol

Sounds like his Linux experience was worse?

Go for it! I’m not holding that against anyone. I’m railing against the entitlement of saying it’s “not respectful of the viewer’s time” to have sponsored segments.

Like I said elsewhere, I think that stance is ironic because it’s not respecting the creator’s time and effort. “I want you to spend hours and hours making videos for me but I don’t want you to make money from it”

If the creators you like choose to monetize with sponsors, you can choose not to watch them instead of complaining about it on a forum. Or go create the content you like yourself.

I don’t like ads either and have stopped watching several channels because of how they use them.

“Every time the same argument” is right - “my time is valuable but the creator’s time is not!”

If nobody needs them then why are they complaining? Just don’t watch it. Your problem is solved!

Videos on YouTube are so much better than the era you’re remembering. If nordvpn or whoever sponsoring videos is the way for creators to continue making great things on a regular schedule, I’m not gonna make a huff when they take a minute to acknowledge them. I skip most of them, too, but I’m not venting about what a terrible inconvenience it is.

And sorry for not specifying that I wasn’t speaking about reaction videos and meme compilations when I said “high quality”, I thought it that would be pretty damn clear but I guess we watch different things on YouTube

Stop acting like it’s morally wrong to get paid for your work. If there’s a market for it, why shouldn’t people do it full time? Should Hollywood work for free, too?

Ok

Shit, I didn’t realize there were 48 hours in a day.

Sorry, you’re right. Creators should work their 9-5 and then spend another 8 hours a day making videos for us out of the goodness of their hearts. I now think it’s disgusting that these people try to monetize their hard work

I think it’s ironic that the argument is both “sponsor segments don’t respect my time!” AND “I have no respect for the time of the creators”

Skip it all you want but don’t act like it’s such a terrible inconvenience. Creating high quality content is a full time job and people gotta eat

Trust me…I’d kill to get Autodesk and their always-online DRM off my PC…but those are not alternatives. I do CAD professionally with established standards and LISP routines. I’d have to learn a new programming language to even consider switching

AutoCAD and Ableton are my two most-used pieces of software. There are no FOSS alternatives that get anywhere close

I find this software to be of greater quality and better than closed source software

You’d find the opposite of you use what I use. Open source alternatives to every piece of software that keeps me on windows kind of blows in comparison.

I switched to Plex because it was easier and I don’t use it much anyway. It completely fulfills my needs and it always works - the only issues I’ve ever had were with the PC my server was hosted on. I’ve yet to run into any issues that would make me look into switching like I have with other software/platforms I’ve abandoned

be OP

Developing a UI to combine several similar projects together

Makes a beautiful interface

“I am not a UI designer”

I don’t read them but for some reason the idea of pirating comics bums me out lol
