Piracy not appealing to the everyman? With the relentless rise in the cost of living and with streaming services increasing costs and cracking down on password sharing, I don't see many people turning up their nose at piracy these days.

I'm okay with that, people generally not inclined to pirate must not visit a pirated sub, by choice or by accident. They may get culture shock and mistake perfectly legal conversations for other things and make a false report.

Those who want to pirate generally knows how to search for communities for piracy. No matter who's blocking who, they'll eventually find what they want. The block will act as a filter of some sorts.

If that keeps the normies out then it's a win.

I put quotes around it to imply I was using the term sarcastically because people who use it in earnest look like elitist douchebags.

There are two people in the world, honest hard working people, and lying thieving criminal scum, pirates are the latter. If there are more people pirating that means crime is going up and we need to increase enforcement of this criminal activity.
