Never get used to this. I get what you are saying but I don't think this is the right response.

It feels like you are missing the point on purpose. I don't know why, this feels like laziness.
Criticizing the existence of billionaires and being antiwork are two different things. And being antiwork is different than wanting to do nothing. No one wants to do nothing, except in cases of major depressions.
A lot of antiwork post can lack depth but there are really interesting criticism to be made about work as it's organized these days. I suggest you dig the subject.
Why would anyone use a browser that requires you to login, especially after that: https://kibty.town/blog/arc/
Just Hi-rez being Hi-rez. They have a long history of shutting down games. I'm never getting any game from them anymore.

But it's also true that sometimes it's not done with a pro-piracy stance but they would just rather have it pirated than bought through key-resellers as these can hurt indy-game dev a lot.
You are conflating the two meanings of free. Pirated software does not improve your freedom and open source is not necessarily free.
That being said I've seen a few indie game studios making pro-piracy statements or even putting the game on torrent networks themselves. But these are the one that deserve the most to be paid.
My next phone is definitely going to be a Pixel for this reason. But my current one is not even 6 years old so I'll wait a bit.
