"Piracy can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning"
This is increasingly how it feels, when things you "own" digitally become inaccessible, and when shows which are locked in streaming services can get delisted on a whim, disappearing forever.
Thank you @Illuminatus for this quote.

For a while now digital ownership has felt more like borrowing but that is not how it's advertised.
Piracy seems to be the only way to make sure things stick around.
And don't get me started on the blockchain, as those things would still need to be hosted somewhere that can disappear just as well. That is a solution looking for a problem.

Bro, I don't know where you got that from. This is about digital entertainment and ownership.
1 - I think you showed this thread in discord before, but can you remind me which one?
2 - how do you see the number of likes/boosts that something has?
