Has someone asked what there IS to defend if not people’s lives?

I don’t know for sure, I’m not an avid watcher, but I’ve seen several pretty big channels talk about this in their videos and ask people to check their subscription because it does apparently happen.

The thing is, just like software subscriptions, you aren’t buying a piece of software, you’re buying the right to use it. You can be pretty sure that they have legalese in the eula that says that your right to use the software expires with non-use. I wouldn’t be surprised if they can even let it expire by simple deciding to no longer support it.

And what do you think will happen if their license servers ever go offline?

For the longest time I never bought anything digital, but I eventually caved to steam. I still blatantly refuse to join other digital platforms, except gog where I can download the software and it works without any remote server.

Same for music: I refuse to use Spotify. I buy from 7digital and the like, where I can download either mp3 or FLAC.

And they didn’t mention politics at all, they said not everyone wants to be reminded of the orange shitstain. I agree with them.

Technically, no, but then they need another source of revenue, because servers at that scale aren’t cheap.

As if any spyware worth it’s salt didn’t install itself as service with an innocuous name. Something like “Facebook” or “TikTok”.

I think it also helps that it wasn’t intentional. Nobody likes the obvious corp whoring for a quick cash grab.

It undeniably does, but what would be interesting is a comparison of how much water is needed per liter of milk and various substitutes.
