Fonzie!

Pretty sure they wouldn’t, indeed.

Yeah, I checked and the publisher of Torrhunt and the client did add “netflix torrent” as a search term, the third party individual who put ProtonVPN there added “Watch Netflix from any device” in the description for some reason.

I was going to comment that torrent client, torrent search and VPN aren’t necessarily used for piracy, and then I saw the search query.

Realistically though, these three publishers must’ve added “netflix” as keyword, and Flathub must’ve not noticed/cared. Still funny as fuck, though.

Sounds like this could be Lemmy’s r/rimjobsteve.

I liked that sub.

I like your grandmother.

I hope you’re right, and that people scrolling social media aren’t the biggest source of income to ISP’s.

Charlie Sheen? He might, you should ask.

:-(

AYO how is that legal? What some random commercial company made up can’t be above the law, right?

Why would it suddenly be not OK if the victim pirated…?

Yeah I don’t understand the logic behind that last one.

Does anyone have a TL;DW? Cause I just smashed the transcript into DuckDuckGo AI Chat on GPT-4o and asked it to summarise it and it came up with this

In the video, the speaker discusses a legal case involving Disney and a patron who died after being served food that did not accommodate their allergies, despite assurances from Disney and the restaurant. The key point is that the patron’s ability to sue Disney was hindered by a forced arbitration clause in the Disney+ agreement, which the speaker argues effectively protects Disney from liability. The speaker emphasizes the irony that if the patron had pirated Disney content instead of paying for it, they might have had a better chance of seeking justice in court. This situation is used to highlight broader frustrations with corporate practices, such as restrictive digital rights management (DRM) and the way companies redefine terms like “purchase” to limit consumer rights. The speaker expresses anger at the notion that paying customers are often treated worse than those who pirate content, arguing that this creates a system that punishes people for doing the right thing. They call for a reevaluation of how companies treat their customers, advocating for fairer practices that do not penalize those who choose to pay for content. The video concludes with a strong critique of corporate policies that prioritize profit over consumer rights and satisfaction.

Which isn’t helping enough

That’s sad. But hey, I see my instance hasn’t done anything yet!

I know Youtube, TikTok etc. do it only to be able to sell the content better to advertisers; if there’s swearing in it, gullible children might not be allowed to watch it, so less ads sold.

I wonder why lemmy.ml does it?

The exact amount of revenue generated by YouTube Premium subscriptions can vary significantly and is influenced by factors such as the number of subscribers, the subscription fees, and the overall engagement of those subscribers with content on the platform.

Creators can track the revenue earned from YouTube Premium through their YouTube Analytics dashboard.

Source-ish

And I’ve never heard content creators mention YouTube Red/Premium aside from saying it’s not as good a way to support them as subscribing to their Patreon or buying their merch.

It sounds like it doesn’t pay them out much, and they know it.

What the fuck? So if I’d comment this from lemmy.ml they’d delete that comment?

Don’t they have better shit to do?

I see you’re painted by Neo Rembrandt?

Aw, I thought we all agreed on beans day?

Most of them earn more from Patreon and merch, that’s how you support them greatly, not by watching and clicking ads.

Like, even the creators themselves tell you you can support them on Patreon or through their merch, they never tell you to get Premium, Join or click ads, as they don’t help much.
