Those caps are a way to cull the weakest parts of society. I too have hurt my dick on them but have learned to deal with them.

Why not browse your subscriptions through subscriptions section? I understand that it’s annoying that you can’t make it default on startup in the app but it’s there.
Just pointing out that you made the reason for ban so vague that this fits the description.
OP said that Olsen twins in Full House were unfuckable because they were too old by then.
I was merely explaining how one comes to this line of thinking which is what OP was asking about. I also mentioned some holes in this logic so I think it’s clear it’s not an opinion I actually hold.
If you ride a bus without a ticket, other passengers will have to pay more because upkeep and salaries are more or less a fixed cost. That is if you can afford the ticket, it’s irrelevant otherwise. Also depends on profit margins but I think it explains the point.
That was my point though. Soviet / post-soviet countries are effectively very hyperindividualistic despite enforced societal conformance. There’s this perceived ingenuity where people will go great lengths to come up with clever ways of skirting the law. It’s what makes it incredibly hard for society to become mature enough to rely on systemic solutions to problems and gives way to authoritarian rule.
Piracy is fine and mostly harmless but I don’t like idolizing it because there can be a really dark undertone to it.
I’d say Putin is a product of society that allows anything as long as you don’t rock the boat and steal only from the people you’re allowed to.
Early V1 can be soft modded which is much more hassle-free, new ones require a modchip.
Correct me if this changed but you can pay for premium in India with a regular card, you just have to provide fake billing address. I’ve been doing this for years now so maybe I’m grandfathered into some old payment scheme but I’m fairly sure my gf did this recently too when she had to switch from Argentina.
Its not going to be hardware level lock but linked to Apple ID region. For some it will definitely be worth jumping through some hoops but I think 99% will bail at having to arrange payment method that confirms their EU residency.
It’s telling that you’re completly skipping over content creators.
I’m perfectly aware. Everyone keeps saying that piracy is a convenience issue but people seem to go great lengths to get YouTube for free given how expensive it is to run and how much value it provides.
I had good luck with paying for YouTube Premium. Can use a VPN to get it so dirt cheap I wouldn’t bother with working around it.
With FB and every other instance. Are you vetting who has controlling stake in every instance you federate with?

What an infuriating UI design, red for federated and green for blocked?
Either way, thanks for a useful link since my instance admin blocked Threads for whatever reason and I needed to find a new one. Cheers!
YouTube Premium includes YouTube Music and their fight against adblock and background play on free tier is part of appeasing copyright holders who get their cut just fine. There’s gray area but Google can’t flat out pirate music without getting sued into oblivion.
I’d go one step further and say pirating music is too big of a hassle in general. Apple Music and Tidal do loseless compression, have huge catalogues and are so dirt cheap I don’t understand why you’d make your life so hard on purpose. Once effectively unlimited mobile data became a thing music piracy lost most of its purpose.
