Tbh I never really commented or upvoted anything on reddit. I was always a lurker but when I started with the fediverse I feel like I can actually interact for some reason
I saw a post on reddit a while back from the developers of Ableton. Someone asked in the subreddit if they had permission to pirate the program because they are in high school still and don't have the money to purchase the $600+ program but really wanted to start making music using that DAW. A developer responded saying something along the lines of "We'd prefer you pirate our program to start learning and being creative instead of using another DAW. Then, when you start making a profit on your music you created with the pirated program set some aside and eventually purchase Ableton." This creates lifetime loyalty tbh. These developers know that they'd rather you use their programs via pirating because they know if those users like it enough they will eventually purchase it. This is exactly what I did. I pirated the program and released some songs until I hade the money to purchase it myself.
I would love to Google search Lemmy instead of reddit. I just don't know how feasible it would be being that Lemmy is decentralized.
It was more, I ain't gonna finish my route if I drive 10 min to a gas station so I'd rather pee in a bottle and continue my route than drive the 10 min away to a gas station. But yeah
Oof, yeah me too. I constantly open Lemmy to scroll for a while, get bored, close my app, scroll through my phone apps, click back into Lemmy. Repeat.
