Maybe a jar of strawberry jam filled from a large pot :) You won’t care as much about the theft since you still have an almost full pot of strawberry jam, but you care a little since that pot will eventually end. Analogs in the order of appearance: - jar of jam: copy of Lunar - large pot of jam: my willingness to keep updating the app in a world where everyone sees theft as “meh whatever, I wouldn’t have paid anyway”
