There is any place where I can download FP exclusive content from LTT without paying? Thank you

    It’s not that LTT can’t afford piracy, it’s that pirating content that is made using ethical and honest business practices and treats their employees well (at least from what it appears) sends the wrong message. Piracy should only be used when companies give you a reason to avoid using legal methods of accessing their content.

    EDIT (8/16/23): Yeah, I’ve changed my mind given recent events. Sail away!

      Piracy should be used whenever you don’t want to pay for something

        You sound like you’d be ok with physical theft from a mom-pop-shop as long as you get something for free. It’s not in the spirit of the piracy community.

        It’s a small platform that costs a lot to run. Attempting to provide a fair and ethical alternative to YouTube.

        Don’t use the service unless you’re going to support it.

          LTT is not a small platform. Let him suck it up.

          Spotify and YouTube cost a lot to run, do you block ads or pay for premium?

            In the grand scheme of the media industry, they are. Moreover, Floatplane is a separate entity with < 50k users.

            I don’t use Spotify, but yes, I pay for YouTube premium (which comes with YouTube Music, which I use instead of Spotify). I use YouTube a lot. $13.99 is not that much money for so much video and music content.

            And I’m not saying don’t pirate anything ever. But come on, when people build a platform to try and do things right, to ethically support their creators, we ought to support those platforms.
