- DaSHacka 2y agoAnd now people argue blocking certain network elements from loading on a website is "piracy" Its frankly disappointing how passified most internet users have gotten with regard to corporate BS in recent years

Somehow, I doubt most Youtubers actually have the chops to set up their own hosting/streaming operation, plus maintain relationships with advertisers who pay their bills. Does it not make sense then, that when such people have their livelihood threatened by the Ur-Intetnet ethos, that they turn against it? I don't condone or support it, but I can understand how the shift has happened.
