Indian here, I'll cross post from Facebook.
"Why Netflix? Torrent karle."
"Steam? Tu rich hoga bro."
"Tu apps ke liye pay karta hai? WTF!"
(don't think I need to translate)

- akgoel 10y agoMy wife would rather torrent potato-quality VCD's than pay to rent a DVD. As far as I can, it's what she was used to when the Indian video shops were just copying VHS tapes in the backroom to rent out.

- tsudot 10y agoWhen it comes to content, Indian's don't think of it as something tangible. The main reason though is downloading content through torrents is considered the way to go. I feel with Netflix and Prime are out there to capture this market, with TVF being the local player, this change of philosophy is just starting to shift.
- kranner 10y agoTranslations which parent should have offered: "Why Netflix? Torrent karle." Why Netflix? Torrent it. "Steam? Tu rich hoga bro." Steam? You must be rich, bro. "Tu apps ke liye pay karta hai? WTF!" You pay for apps? WTF!
